SUGAR ROSE
(Thomas "Fats" Waller / Phil Ponce 1936)

Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm
recorded February 1st 1936 New York


I found a rose among the blossoms
Where the cotton grows;
Everybody knows
She's my Sugar Rose!

You'll always see her in the evenin'
Where the moonbeams shine,
Clingin' like a vine
In these arms of mine!

Folk say we're both headin'
For a happy weddin',
Sometime very soon.
I've a reservation
At the railroad station
For my honey honeymoon!

I've got a cabin by the roadside
Where someday you'll be, ha-ha,
Sugar Rose and me, yes yes yes,
Makin' room for three, yeah!

I've got a cabin by the roadside
Where someday you'll be,
Sugar Rose and me,
Makin' room for three!
Well alright then!
