Lyrics
1. Rosie, Rosie, what troubles you, dear?
You haven’t smiled all day
Teardrops will bring you wrinkles, Rosie
And chase all your dimples away
What have I done to make you unhappy
Have I neglected you?
Come now, be cheery, don’t be dreary
Sometimes you neglect me, too
Chorus:
Life isn’t all roses, Rosie
Just take the smiles with the tears
Roses will bloom in the summer
When winter’s snow disappears
After the rain comes the rainbow
After the night comes the morn
Life isn’t all roses, Rosie
Each little rose has it’s thorn
2. Listen, Rosie, robin is singing
Up in the apple tree
Daisies are blooming in the meadow
Are blooming for you and for me
Birds in blossoms, and bees in the clover
This is no time to cry
After the Springtime comes the Ring-time
We’ll be wedded bye and bye
