Four Vagabonds 1943



Oh baby, somethin’s on my mind

Roseanne of Charing Cross, I keep your memory ever bright
Roseanne of Charing Cross, dressed in your uniform of white
There by my lonely bed, a lovely angel stopped and said
That's only thunder overhead
And that's how we met.

Roseanne of Charing Cross, the rose you gave me never died
Roseanne of Charing Cross, it knows one day you'll be my bride
And it will live till then, until that happy moment when
I know our paths will cross at Charing Cross again, Roseanne.

(bridge)

And it will live ‘till then, until that happy moment when
I know our paths will cross at Charing Cross again, Roseanne.
