Good to see you again, rosie
I know I've changed a lot since then
You're lookin' fine, babe


Three years that ain't long, rosie
I still remember our song

When you were mine, babe

Times change, times change I know

But it sure moves slow
Down river when you're locked away


Hey why didn't you write, rosie
I stayed awake most every night
Countin' my time babe


Oh no I ain't mad rosie
But just a line babe


Oh sure I remember Ben
Why we went all through school

Well is that right
Well he ain't no fool


He's a good man rosie
Hold him tight as you can
Don't ask me why babe


Yeah nice seein' you again rosie
Me I got things to do

Well good-bye babe

Chorus


Chorus


Rosie down river
Down river when you're locked away
Rosie I'm losing

Down river
