She was called a scarlet woman by the people
                                          D
Who would go to church but left me in the streets
          G            C             G
With no parents of my own, I never had a home
 A                                       D
But an eighteen year old boy has got to eat
 G                C                 G
She found me outside one Sunday morning
                                    D
Begging money from a man I didn't know
 G                   C               G
She took me in and wiped away my childhood
                  D                G   C-G-D
A woman of the streets this lady Rose


 G            C           G                   
This bed of roses that I lay on 
                             D    D7
Where I was taught to be a man

 G            C               G 
This bed of roses where I'm livin' 
                       D            G
 Is the only kind of life I'll understand

She was a handsome woman just thirty-five
                                   D
Who was spoken to in town by very few
 G             C               G
She managed a late evening business
 A7                                      D D7
Like most of the town wished they could do
 G                      C            G
And I learned all the things that a man should know
                                 D
From a woman not approved of, I suppose

      G           C              G
She died knowing that i really loved her
               D                      G  C-G-D
From life's bramble bush I picked a rose


 G            C           G                   
This bed of roses that I lay on 
                             D    D7
Where I was taught to be a man

 G            C               G 
This bed of roses where I'm livin'

 Is the only kind of life I'll understand

Where I was taught to be a man
