Verse 1: Down around the corner of the street where I reside,
There lives the cutest little girl that I have ever spied.
Her name is Rose O' Grady and I don't mind telling you,
That she's the sweetest little rose this garden ever grew

Chorus: Sweet Rosie O' Grady, my dear little Rose.
She's my steady lady, most ev 'ryone knows;
And when we are married, how happy we'll be;
I love Sweet Rosie O' Grady and Rosie O' Grady loves me.

Verse 2: I never shall forget the day she promised to be mine,
As we sat telling love-tales in the golden summertime.
'Twas on her finger then I placed a small engagement ring, While in the trees, the little birds, this song they seemed to sing!

Chorus: Sweet Rosie O' Grady, my dear little Rose.
She's my steady lady, most ev 'ryone knows;
And when we are married, how happy we'll be;
I love Sweet Rosie O' Grady and Rosie O' Grady loves me.
