ray wylie hubbard – house of the white rose bouquet كلمات اغاني

[verse 1]
there was a time i was wild, young, and handsome
i was smokin’ cigarettes at age thirteen
at seventeen i was drinking in the taverns
with irish poets, racketeers, and libertines
at twenty-one i was a full-time gambler
a card-squeezer who blistered the [beat?]
i carried a .32-20 in my pocket
and i heeded not the gambler’s fallacy

[verse 2]
thereupon i was asked to be a procurer
by a young woman of desire named olivia may
so for mutual financial benefits
we opened up the house of the white rose bouquet

[verse 3]
olivia was a beauty and quite flirtatious
she enjoyed the company of rakish men
and we fell deeply in love with each other
and prospered in our house of ill-repute and sin

[verse 4]
and even though i was in love with olivia
there were other girls and indiscretions
a patron of the house was a physician
and he gave me a cure for my transgressions

[verse 5]
one night olivia found my hidden blue bottle
with tablets shaped like coffins inside
she mistook them for opiate narcotics
and swallowed the mercury chloride

[verse 6]
how my heart died when i found her
in her green beaded dress, dead on the floor
at her service, i c-cked my .32-20
for i could not stand the sorrow anymore

[verse 7]
now the house of the white rose bouquet
oh, it fell into disarray and was torn down
the place is now a beacon of decency
for it’s a theatre known as the new amsterdam

[verse 8]
at night after the audience has departed
never knowing where they was once was a brothel
a figure walks across the darkened stage
in a green beaded dress, carryin’ a blue bottle
