Lyrics
MY SWEET AND SIMPLE ROSE
A orchid is a flower, that blooms exclusively,
Out of every poor man's reach, up in society,
S o many men are taken in, by her beauty as she grows,
They are blinded to the beauty, of a sweet and simple rose,
(chorus)
I could have picked an orchid, I'm so glad I chose,
The flower of my life, my sweet and simple rose,
I love her, she loves me, that's the way our garden grows,
I'm so glad I chose to pick, my sweet and simple rose,
An orchid doles out her love, the way she spends her money,
Politely she will cut you down, with words that drip with honey,
I could have picked an orchid, but I'm not high society,
Rose loves me for what I am, not what she makes of me,
I met rose in a honky-tonk, where she was tending bar,
A plain, hard-working, country girl, not a glamorous movie star,
She has made my life complete, I now have everything,
My eyes are open to the joy, the simple life can bring,
(chorus)
i could have picked an orchid, I'm so glad I chose,
The flower of my life, my sweet and simple rose,
I love her, she loves me, that's the way our garden grows,
I'm so glad I chose to pick, my sweet and simple rose,
(repeat chorus)
