Generate meaning
1
She was a flower for the takin',
2
Her beauty cut just like a knife
3
He was a banker from Macon,
4
He swore he'd love her all a his life
5
He bought her a mansion on the mountain,
6
With a formal garden and a lot a land
7
But paradise became her prison, that Georgia banker was a jealous man!
8
Every time he'd talk about her,
9
You could see the fire in his eyes
10
He'd say,
11
"I would walk through Hell on Sunday, to keep my Rose in Paradise
12
He hired a man to tend the garden,
13
And keep an eye on her while he was gone
14
Some say they ran away together
15
Some say that gardener left alone
16
Now the banker is an old man
17
That mansion's crumbling down
18
He sits all day and he stares at the garden
19
Not a trace of her was
20
Ever found
21
Every time he'd talk about her,
22
You could see the fi-er in his eyes
23
He'd say,
24
"I would walk through Hell on Sunday,
25
To keep my Rose in Paradise
26
Now there's a rose out in the garden
27
Its beauty cuts just like a knife
28
They say that it even grows in the winter time
29
And blooms in the dead of the night
