Song lyrics to Sweet Rosie O’Grady (1896), Written by Maude Nugent, performed in the movie of the same name
- Just down around the corner
Of the street where I reside
There lives the cutest little girl
That I have ever spied
Her name is Rosie O’Grady
And I don’t mind telling you
That she’s the sweetest little Rose
The 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
- I never shall forget the day
She promised to be mine
As we sat telling lovetales
In the golden summer time
‘Twas on her finger that 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
