MY BLUSHIN' ROSIE (title on cover)
MA BLUSHIN' ROSIE (title on page 1)
Words, Edgar Smith. Music, John Stromberg.
New York: M. Witmark & Sons, 1900.
Sung by Fay Templeton

1. Dar's a colored bud ob beauty dat I longs ter call ma bride,
An' dis coon am neber happy 'less his baby's by his side.
Her baptismal name am Rosie, but she puts de rose ter shame,
An' mos' any night you'll heah me call her name.

CHORUS: Rosie, you are ma posie.
You are ma heart's bouquet.
Come out heah in de moonlight.
Dar's som'fin, sweet lub, I wants ter say.
Your honey boy am waitin'
Dose ruby lips ter greet.
Don' be so aggravatin',
Ma blushin' Rosie, ma posie sweet.

2. Yo' may talk about yo' daisies, an' de sweet forget-me-not,
But de simple little rosebud sets me crazy on de spot.
Dar am many a gaudy flower wid a fine high-soundin' name,
But de rose am my right bower jus de same.

Here are the lyrics if anyone wants them. I have the song too. Just let me know if you want it. [e-mail]

Ma Blushin' Rosie
Al Jolson

Rosie, you are my posy
You are, my heart's bouquet
Come out, here in the moonlight
There's something, sweet love
I want to say

Your honey, boy, I'm waitin'
Your ruby lips to greet
Don't be so captivatin'
My blushin' Rosie
My posy sweet

There's a little bunch of sweetness
That I long to call my bride
And believe me, I'm not happy
'Less my baby's by my side

Her baptismal name is Rosie
But she puts the rose to shame
And most every night
You'll hear me call her name

Professor!
I'm gonna sing about my Rosie!

Rosie, you are my posy
You are, my heart's bouquet
Come out, here in the moonlight
There's something, sweet love
I'm gonna sing about my baby!

Your honey, your boy, I'm waitin'
Your ruby, your lips to greet
Don't be so captivatin'
My blushin' Rosie
My posy sweet

Sorry, cookie. I just click on search, then type in the words, in this case Blushin' Rosie, and then click on search.

I use a text browser, so it's not that difficult.
