Bed Of Roses - The Statler Brothers
She was called a scarlet woman by the people
Who would go to church but left me in the street
With no parents of my own,I never had a home
And an eighteen year old boy has got to eat
She found me outside one Sunday morning
Taking money from a man I didn't know
She took me in and wiped away my childhood
A woman of the streets this Lady Rose
Chorus
This bed of roses that I lay on
Where I was taught to be a man
This bed of roses where I'm living
Is the only kind of love I understand
She was a handsome woman just thirty-four
Who was spoken to in town by very few
She managed a late evening business
Like most of the town wished they could do
And I learned all the things that a man should know
From a woman not approved of I suppose
But she died knowing that I really loved her
Off life's bramble bush,I picked a rose

Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott - The Statler Brothers
[G] Everbody knows when you [G7] go to the show
You [C] can't take the kids a-[G] long
You've gotta read the paper and know the code
of [A7] G, PG and R [D] and X
You [G] gotta know what the [G7] movie's about
Be-[C] fore you even [G] go
Tex [C] Ritter's gone and [G] Disney's [E7] dead
The [A7] screen is [D] filled with [G] sex.
CHORUS
[G] Whatever happened to [B7] Randolph Scott
[C] ridin' the range a-[G] lone
Whatever happened to Gene and Tex
And [A7] Roy and Rex, the Du-[D]ran-go Kid
[G] Whatever happened to [B7] Randolph Scott
His [C] horse, plain as can be [G]
[C] Whatever happened to [G] Randolph [E7] Scott
Has [A7] happened to the [D] best of [G] me.
Everbody's tryin' to make a comment
About our doubts and fears
True Grit's the only movie
I've really understood in years
You gotta take your analyst along
To see if it's fit to see
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Has happened to the best of me.
CHORUS
Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown
And Alan "Rocky" Lane
Whatever happened to Lash LaRue
I'd love to see them again
Whatever happened to Smiley Burnett
Tim Holt and Gene Autry
Whatever happened to all of these
Has happened to the best of me.
REPEAT LAST TWO LINES.
