Lyrics

"ROSIE"
2007 Time 5:12

I was sit?n up in church, when the doors flew open wide3
All eyes were on her as she walked down the aisle
The women whispered loudly, the men began to frown
It didn?t bother Rosey none, she sat right down

Some point in the service, the preacher stood and said:
?Anyone want to testify? and Rosey raised her hand
She stood right up and held her head up proud
She looked just like an angel, Lord, as she turned to face the crowd

Break

She said ?I know all you ladies just by sight but I know
Your men better, they all came to me at night,
Last NIGHT I met Jesus and I got saved, I came here to tell
Your husbands that things are gonna change?

CHORUS
Ain?t gonna have this bed of Rosey?s for you to come to
Ain?t gonna be no hypocrite, just like most of you
Go to church on Sundays, raise hell on Saturday night
Ain?t gonna have this bed of Rosey?s where you can tell Your lies

You could have heard a pin drop, as Rosey Testified
How her father had abused her, all the nights she cried
How the Town made her suffer for all things that they said
She heard them laughing and talking
Who sleeps in Rosey?s bed?

BREAK AND CHORUS

I heard tell Rosey is in some foreign land
Always preaching the gospel with her Bible in her hand
Sometimes when I?m in church, it comes to my mind
That Sunday mornin? service when Rosey Testified.
