Born an raised in Santa Barbara, CA I have been writing and performing for over 25 years. I consider my music Alt-Country Folk & Blues. You may also find me at
I was having a conversation with a friend about catholic religion and it sparked a song. I also had a relative who was a nun and I'm sure she has no idea she made her way into a tune of mine.
Lyrics
OH FATHER OH FATHER WHERE DO I BEGAN
CAN YOU DIP ME IN THE WATER, MAKE ME CLEAN AGAIN
SHE’S AS SWEET AS A FRESH CUT FLOWER
IV’E GOT AN EDGE LIKE A GATORS TOOTH
YA I MET ME A SWEET THING AN SHE LED ME TO YOU OH…..
SHE WAS SAYING HER ROSERIES
SAYING HER ROSERIES
SAVING A PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR ME
MOTHER OH MOTHER THE YEARS ROLL ON BY
WHERE ARE YOUR CHILDERN ONCE BY YOUR SIDE
AND PAPA OH PAPA SINCE PASSED AWAY
BUT WILL ALL BE TOGETHER SOME DAY
I’M SAYING MY ROSERIES
SAYING MY ROSERIES
SAVING A PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR ME
YA WHEN WE STUMBLE WE CAN FALL SO HARD
BUT THAT SWEET HEREAFTER CAN GIVE US HEART
SISTER OH SISTER ALL DRESSED IN BLACK
YOU PRAY FOR OUR SALVATION
FOR THE CONVICTION WE LACK
AND WHILE ONE STAINED GLASS WINDOW
COULD FEED ONEHUNDRED FOR A WEEK
IT’S NOT FOR THE FLESH AND BLOOD YOU SEEK
YOUR’E SAYING YOUR ROSERIES
SAYING YOUR ROSERIES
SAVING A PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR ME
I’M SAYING MY ROSERIES
YOUR’E SAYING YOUR ROSERIES
WER’E SAVING A PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR ME
WER’E SAVING A PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR ME
