Well The Golden Rose sailed with a broken man. Going south. Got on board with a woman to lead him around. By the mound (mile? mouth?). Chorus:. And it's goodbye Golden Rose. Yeah it's goodbye Golden Rose. Well the captain who swears if he speaks at all. Wears a gun. Got a first maid who's never quite on the ball. For his son. Chorus:. And it's goodbye Golden Rose. Yeah it's goodbye Golden Rose. Wish I was back in her arms again. Wish I was holding her tight. Wish I was back in her arms again. Safe from the night. --. She stood on the shore and she waved to me:. "Come back home". Many a-night I would think of her. All alone. Chorus:. And it's goodbye Golden Rose. Yeah it's goodbye Golden Rose
