HEY ROSETTA! lyrics : "Carry Me Home"

This hotel is cheap
And the pillows stink
And there's not a single thing

To say it's Christmas Eve
Oh Saint Nicholas
I know I ain't in your list

But if you're listenin'
I need a bus ticket
I came through Montreal

I lost a lot of dough
Couldn't find no honest job
So I did some other ones

Got into trouble and
I had to run or suffer
And then a long road

Into a long December

Over the water and

Over the border and
Over the open land
To this Ramada Inn

No overbooking here
No sort of holy birth
No miracles occurring

No not a creature stirring
Oh Saint Stephen
Where is your feast when I

When I so sorely need it
When I've been hardly eating
But I'd give my food and drink

To see my home again
To see my mother's hand
Against her apron edge


Oh
Oh

Oh (x2)

Oh Saint Christopher

Send me a Christian word
Send me a southern wind
Oh send me up to my kin

Hear the boys singing
Through their drunken grinning
Oh Jesus, Joseph, Mary

I hear their voices carry

Carry me home

Home
Home (x2)


Can any saints hear me?
Is there any angel near me?
If you won't lift me up

Then would you send my love
Back to my home
Back to my only shelter

Where in the awful weather
I will be warm and welcome


Back to my home
Home
Home...
