They call me South Sea Rose
I'm fickle they suppose
It seems nobody knows
I'm craving for love

Dressed in my sea weed clothes
My heart cries out to those
On every ship that goes
I'm craving for love

I could be could be true to one
And care for none but only one
Until he comes to me
I'll always be a lonely one

They call me South Sea Rose
I'm fickle they suppose
It seems nobody knows
I'm craving for love.
