* Rosie had been born with sight, but Lost it in an accident
No one bore the blame, she had been Young, and knew no better

it was no Longer on the shore oh oh Oh the misery of missing Rosie

it Picked her up and it carried her aWay
that Wild ride must have amazed her, Down past litton , where the fraser

looked Down and saw a cow, climbing Out of all that foam
our Rosie hadn't been afraid, she Hadn't seen the trip she'd made,
she Stood there blind and cold and kinda Wishing she was home
kinda Wishing she was home, oh oh Oh the misery of missing Rosie,
Oh the misery of missing Rosie

they Lowered a sling and they hauled her up, and Put her in a trailer

her Belly's full, and the grass is short, and she's No longer a sailor, she is
No longer a sailor, and now there's No more misery for missing Rosie
No mo
