Rose Garden

Lynn Anderson

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give, so live and let live and let go
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain some time

The Devil Sent You to Lorado

Baccara

I still remember the piano

Playing the same old melodies

The late-night crowd was wild and loud

But then a shot outside the barroom

… And then I saw you for the first time

The way you stepped out of the dark

Up to the bar, said, "Here we are

Whiskey for me, for you Tequila"

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face in such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away

You'd shake my life like a tornado

… I still remember the piano

Playing a different melody

You won at cards, you won at darts

Left all the men without a dollar

… And now you gotta leave Lorado

They want you out of here by noon

Oh, I can tell I'm in a spell

So, here we go to Amarillo

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face in such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away

You'd shake my life like a tornado

… The devil, the devil

The devil (devil, devil, devil, devil, devil, devil, devil, devil)

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face in such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away

You'd shake my life like a tornado

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face in such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away

You'd shake my life like a tornado

… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face in such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
