Artist/Band: Loretta Lynn
Lyrics for Song: Rose Garden
Lyrics for Album: I Wanna Be Free [1971]



(Joe South)



I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

When you take you gotta give, so live and let live or let go

I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.



I could promise you things

Like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover

So you'd better think it over.



When it's sweet talking

You could make it come true

I would give you the world right now on a silver platter

But what would it matter.



So smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.



--- Instrumental ---



I could sing you a tune

And promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you

I'd just as soon let you go.



But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap still water runs deep

And there won't always be someone there to pull you out

And you know what I'm talking about.



So smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.



I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden...
