Lyrics
TELL LITTLE ROSY
Tell little Rosy I won't be home today. The band's playin music somewhere down Mexico way.
Lots of senoritas ice-cold beer in the shade.
Tell litle Rosy I won't be home today.
I know she'll understand her lovin man hasn't gone away it's just
the band's playin music somewhere down Mexico way
I got a fast car, a guitar, a tank of gas;
a little brown suitcase and not enough cash to last.
Rosy she knows I got to go today cause the band's playin music somewhere down Mexico way.
I know she'll understand her lovin man hasn't gone away It's just
the bands playin music somewhere down Mexico way
I know the devil he bought me a bottle of wine
Dia de Muerto he showed me a real good time
Tell little Rosy I won't be home today
The band's playin music somewhere down Mexico way.
The band's playin music somewhere down Mixico way.
