Jim Dixon Lyr/Tune Req: The One Rose That's Left in My Heart (20) Lyr Add: THE ONE ROSE (THAT'S LEFT IN MY HEART) 30 Jul 17


This is my transcription from the recording found on Spotify. I have boldfaced the words that are different from the above version. Several discographies report that this was recorded in 1930, which is odd, because the sheet music wasn't published until 1936, according to several universities that have it.

THE ONE ROSE (THAT'S LEFT IN MY HEART)
As recorded by Jimmie Rodgers with Lani McIntire's Hawaiians, 1930. (Released 1937.)

So blue, so lonesome, too,
But still true.
Rosie, haunt me,
Make me think of you.

You're the one rose that's left in my heart,
dear.
I love you, adore you, I do.
Each night through Love Land we wander,
Telling love's story anew.
Then from the blue sky a black cloud came rolling,
Breaking my heart in two.
But we ought not to part; I've said from the start,
You're the one rose that's left in my heart.

[Yodel]
