[Verse 1]
Out on the lonely hillside
In a cabin low and small
Lived the sweetest rose of color
My Rosa Lee McFall
Her hair was brightsome color
And her voice was sweet to me
I know that I will always love her
And I hope that she loved me

[Verse 2]
I asked her to be my darling
And this is what she said
"You know that I will only be happy
When you and I are wed"
Then God way up in heaven
One day for her did call
I lost my bride, oh, how I loved her
My Rosa Lee McFall

[Verse 3]
I've searched the wide world over
Cities great and small
But I'vе never found another
Likе my Rosa Lee McFall
[Outro]
Out on the lonely hillside
In a cabin low and small
Lived the sweetest rose of color
My Rosa Lee McFall
