Rosie (Do You Wanna Talk It Over)
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Sonny Throckmorton
 
C
I know I'm not the first man 
   F                           C
To earn his living working rodeos
    Dm              G7
And Rosie's not the first girl
   Dm             G7            C
To try to make an empty house a home
 
                          F
I recall the first time I heard her cry
                 C
A thousand miles away
      Dm               G7
And I cursed the miles between us
    Dm                G7             C
And swore it wouldn't always be this way
 
                           F
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
G7                                    C
I'll come home and we can work things out
                           F
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
         G7
She said no just stay in Houston
                       
It really ain't no big thing
  Dm             G7                  C
I just need some time to work things out
 
 
Every time I pick my saddle up
  F                                 C
I know that lonely finds my Rosie's door
Dm              G7
Lord You know a traveling man
      Dm             G7               C
Can't give his woman what she hungers for
 
 
I win a first in Denver 
        F                              C
And the average in Ft. Worth and San Antone
      Dm                G7
Every year my name gets bigger
       Dm               G7                C
Lord I wish I was doing half that good at home
 
  
Now I wish I had a dollar 
F                                  C
Every time I heard the grandstands roar
     Dm             G7
Or a dime for every phone call
        Dm          G7          C
When we don't say I love you anymore
 
                
And the day when I called Rosie
F                               C
Lord You know she sounded awful low
      Dm               G7
And I cursed the miles between us
    Dm               G7         C
But Rosie just can't take it anymore
 
                           F
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
G7                                    C
I'll come home and we can work things out
                           F
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
         G7
She said no just stay in Houston
 
Last night I found another
     Dm
It's gone too far  
    G7                C
For us to work things out
 
                           F
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
G7                                    C
I'll come home and we can work things out
                           F
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
       Dm
Has it gone too far
    G7                C
For us to work things out
                              F  C
Rosie don't you wanna talk it over
