A Poor Mans Roses

<br>Written by bob hilliard and milton delugg<br><br>(as recorded by patsy cline november 8, 1956)<br><br><br><br>I must make up my mind today<br><br>What to have, what to hold<br><br>A poor mans roses<br><br>Or a rich mans gold<br><br><br><br>Ones as wealthy as a king in a palace<br><br>Tho hes callous and cold<br><br>He may learn to give his heart for love<br><br>Instead of buyin it with gold<br><br><br><br>Then the poor mans roses<br><br>And the thrill when we kiss<br><br>Will be memories of paradise<br><br>That Ill never miss<br><br><br><br>And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight<br><br>Is the hand I will hold<br><br>For the rose of love means more to me<br><br>More than any rich mans gold<br><br><br><br>(repeat last two verses)
