She had ribbons, ribbons,
ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know, it must have been the roses
All I know, I could not leave her there
it must have been the roses
The roses are the ribbons
I don't know, it must have been the roses
I could not leave her there
Ten years the waves roll the ships
Thinkin' well how it may blow
what your own lips told to me
May I lay neath the roses
and my eyes no longer see
it must have been the roses
The roses and the ribbons
All I know is I could not
One pane of glass in the window
though the cleaning shop door
how no one comes round anymore
I don't know, it might have been the roses
All I know is I could not
Annie laid her head down in the roses
She had ribbons, ribbons,
ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know, maybe it was the roses
those I could not leave her there
Oh, rose, rose, rose, rose
