Cowboy Rolly Rose

                           words by Bob MacKenzie
                           music by Alex Young

It's Sunday in the country at Rolly's General Store
all the boys go in the back door for a couple drinks or more
The boys arrive in ones and twos and the whiskey's in the jar
and Rolly Rose is smiling and sets a beer on the bar,
Yes it's sunday school again with Cowboy Rolly Rose

When church gets out, the girls go home, but all the boys go         downtown
where Rolly sells the only booze for miles around
we sit and talk of times gone by
we tip a few, and then we fly         downtown
where Rolly sells the only booze for miles around
it's sunday school again with Cowboy Rolly Rose

Sitting at the general store on a Sunday afternoon
Sipping bootleg whiskey, guess I won't be home real soon
We're all at the general store and everybody knows
It's sunday school again with Cowboy Rolly Rose

When church gets out, the girls go home, but all the boys go         downtown
where Rolly sells the only booze for miles around
we sit and talk of times gone by
we tip a few, and then we fly         downtown
where Rolly sells the only booze for miles around
it's sunday school again with Cowboy Rolly Rose

When church gets out, the girls go home, but all the boys go         downtown
where Rolly sells the only booze for miles around
we sit and talk of times gone by
we tip a few, and then we fly         downtown
where Rolly sells the only booze for miles around
it's sunday school again with Cowboy Rolly Rose

Yes, it's sunday school again with Cowboy Rolly Rose
