Rose-a-lee, aah Rose-a-lee
take these chains from my heart and set me free
I was lost, now i`m found
Got my feet back on solid ground
I was lonesome like a fool
I did you wrong I broke the rule
Now I sure do regret
I was so foolish to be lead
Rose-a-lee, ohh rose-a-lee
Why do you hang this shame on me?
Rose-a-lee, ooh Rose-a-lee
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take me back ohh Rose-a-lee
Oh say that you`ve forgiven me
`cos I can`t take it anymore
Let`s go back to the way things used to be before
Win or lose, I won`t give in
Just say you`ll take me back again
Rose-a-lee, ohh rose-a-lee
Why do you hang this shame on me?
Rose-a-lee, ooh Rose-a-lee
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Now I`m down on my knees
and I`m begging you please
Rose-a-lee, ohh rose-a-lee
Why do you hang this shame on me?
Rose-a-lee, ooh Rose-a-lee
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Rose-a-lee, ohh rose-a-lee
Why do you hang this shame on me?
Rose-a-lee, ooh Rose-a-lee
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
