Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bougainvillea's bloom and wind
Be careful, mind the strangled vines
The rose is climbing over blind
'Cause the sun is on the other side
[Verse 2]
The bees will find their honey
The sweetest every time
Around a red rose, I see a red rose
Red rose bloomin' on another man's vine
[Verse 3]
Golden Willie's gone to war
He left his young wife on the shore
Will she be steadfast everyday?
While Golden Willie's far away
[Verse 4]
Along the way her letters end
She never reads what Willie sends
I see a red rose, I smell a red rose
Red rose bloomin' on another man's vine
