ROSA

Rosa, let us be dancing, dancing, dancing,
Rosa, let us be dancing, O Rosa, sweet!
Rosa with her hat of flowers
Has little wealth but happy hours,
And dances sweetly.
Rosa, let us be dancing, dancing, dancing,
Rosa, let us be dancing, O Rosa, sweet!

Rosa, will you be mine now, mine now, mine now?
Rosa, will you be mine now, O Rosa sweet?
Rosa with her hat of flowers
Has little wealth but happy hours,
And dances sweetly.
Rosa, will you be mine now, mine now, mine now?
Rosa, will you be mine now, O Rosa sweet?

Rosa, let us get married, married, married.
Rosa, let us get married, O Rosa sweet!
Rosa with her hat of flowers
Has little wealth but happy hours,
And dances sweetly.
Rosa, let us get married, married, married.
Rosa, let us get married, O Rosa sweet!

Notes: Comes from the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam brought over from the Europe.

From "A Treasury Of American Song" Downes and Seigmeister, 1940, 1943; pp 30-31
