Little Rosa [Ab] was [Eb] her name, and still [Bb] I cry in vain.
My world won't be the same since she's gone [Eb] from me. _ _ _
_ I [Ab] had gone to visit a [Eb] grave of a friend of mine, and as I walked through the graveyard,
[Bb] I noticed this man kneeling down with a grave of a child, and in his hand he held a big red rose,
and tears were streaming down his cheeks.
[Eb] So I walked over and laid a hand on his shoulder and started to talk to him.
And during the course of our conversation, [Ab] and in his broken English, this is the story he, just as [Bb] he told it to me.
_ He said, Mr.
I'm a walker down the street today, and I pass by a little flower shop.
I walk in and I ask the man in the shop, I say, Boss, how much for [Eb] one of the red roses?
And he looked at me with one big frown, and he says, one dollar, please.
_ [Ab] But then a by and [Eb] a by, a swell-dressed, blond young lady walk in, and she says, how much for [Bb] one of the red roses?
And he looked at her with one big smile, and he says, ten cents.
And I said, Boss, how come you're charging me a dollar for the rose?
He charged the young lady only ten cents.
[Eb] And he says, look, mister, you tell me why you want the rose, and maybe I'll give it to you for naught.
[Ab] _ [Eb] And I said, Boss, I'm a hard-working man, _ working the railroad, and [Bb] don't make too much money.
And I got a little girl, and her name is Rosa.
_ Oh, Rosa's just about this high, Boss. _
Every day when I come home from [Eb] work, little Rosa come running to me to papa.
And she throw little arms around my neck and say, Papa, [Ab] I say, Rosa.
[Eb] Oh, but the one day, Boss, I come home from work, and I don't [Bb] see Rosa.
I look down by the railroad track, and I see one of the bigger crowd.
I go down, and I push the crowd this way, and I push the crowd that way.
And there, Boss, at my feet lay [Eb] my little Rosa.
_ And that's why I want the rose, Boss.
I'm going to put them [Ab] on little Rosa's grave.
[Eb] The man, he don't say or not, but he picked the biggest and the [Bb] reddest rose, and he give it to me.
And I say, Thank you, Boss.
_ _ Thank you very much.
_ [Eb] _ And _ _ _ though she's gone, you see, _ she's still [Bb] the world to me.
To me, she'll always be that little [G] girl _ [Eb] of mine.
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
My world won't be the same since she's gone [Eb] from me. _ _ _
