Dreamstreet Rose Lyrics & Chords By David Mcwilliams
She was dressed in other peoples clothes
They say her name was Dream Street Rose
It was Spring but her feet were white with snow
She said "Friend, I may not know you well
But a story to you I will tell
It's all about a friend I used to know
It was thirty five years ago today
Down by Colorado way
A man named Frankie said he loved her true
The ran away to Denver town
Got married, she thought to settled down
But love was somethin' Frankie never knew
He beat her, treated her so bad
Then sold her to a friend he had
To dance with anyone who paid his dime
She wandered round for many years
Cursin' his soul through her tears
'Til she hit New York City for a time
She saw his picture in the Daily News
"CANDIDATE DECLARES HIS VIEWS"
On how to make this city clean again
Frankie he had found his feet
A leader of the towns elite
A million dollar wife, she felt no pain
