TEXAS TORNADOS “LAREDO ROSE” LYRICS

Laredo rose, your garden has a scent of cheap perfume.
The sun is a stranger to you, hows a rose suppose to bloom
Laredo rose, a rosary hangs from your bed post.
A man you just met gets up, stumbles, puttin’ on his clothes.

As he walks away, you watch candle light play, on a photograph.
A husband and a son and a daughter, You bought her a dress today, to send to Monterrey.

Laredo rose, your garden has a scent of cheap perfume.
The sun is a stranger to you, hows a rose suppose to bloom Solo……

Couple bills on the dresser, father confessing, Knows the wages of sin. Many times they’ve been payin’, as shure as night, follows day,
they’ll be paying again, till heaven knows when.

And heaven knows, how a lady looks down from a dull wall uneven footsteps grow fainter, as they echoed down the hall

Laredo rose, your garden has a scent of of cheap perfume.
The sun is a stranger to you, hows a rose suppose to bloom
The sun is a stranger to you, hows a rose suppose to boom
