Letra de Mr. John Lee (Velveteen Rose)
Mr. John Lee, I knew about your family You came when I was lonesome In the fairest of the spring But I did not care for your wedding ring But I did care for MarieFarewell, my sweet Oh, you often told me How my hair was a raven And my eyes were shining bright But I did not love you quite as well As your darling loving wifeBut every time that you see Your Velveteen Rose I think of how you once called me Your Velveteen RoseMr. John Lee, 'twas the night that you told me The burning thoughts you harbored me The sheriff found your sweet Marie Floating by the river weeds In the fields of greenBut every time that you see Your Velveteen Rose I think of how you once called me Your Velveteen Rose
