RED ROSES FOR
A BLUE LADY






Click below to hear Midi








I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away



I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick,
I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown



(I want some red roses for a blue lady)
(instrumental-next line of first verse)
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away



I want some red roses for a blue,
blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick,
I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown



Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
