Artist/Band: The Manhattan Transfer
Lyrics for Song: Rosianna
Lyrics for Album: Jukin' [2003]



You know I'd chase the roll around Louisiana

'Til I finally got her down in New Orleans

I could not be told nobody keep a hold on Rosianna

So I guess I'd better show 'em what I mean



The man don't live in Louisiana

To make me give up my Rosianna

Thought I'd haul back in Alabama

Ain't no ball and chain about her

They can't keep this boy from tryin'

I'm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home,

Yes I will



In his big cold hand he ________________my Rosianna

Got me sent up to the pen in Baton Rogue

I caught him lyin' down __________________-with a ball peen hammer

Yes I did

When I left poor Hank he never got up again



The man don't live in Louisiana

To make me give up my Rosianna

Thought I'd haul back in Alabama

Ain't no ball and chain about her

They can't keep this boy from tryin'

I'm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home,

Yes I will



Fiddle solo



So let the fact be known any mother's grown boy thinks I'm funny

Is gonna find hisself a knot just like poor Hank

Yes he will



'Cause the mother don't live in Louisiana

To make me give up my Rosianna

Thought I'd haul back in Alabama

Ain't no ball and chain about her

They can't keep this boy from tryin'

I'm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home,

Yes I will
