Jealous Words Lyrics & Chords By Richard Thompson

O sweet Rosie Lee
Like a sister to me
But you thought I was playing you smart
Jealous words
Won’t lie still
In my heart
You saw us there dancing
And you thought us romancing
Suspicion has ripped us apart
Jealous words
Won’t lie still
In my heart
With your interpretation
On my reputation
You blinded yourself to the truth
Then to add some more weight
To your ramblings of late
Well, dear won’t you bring us some proof?
How you cursed and you cried
As you locked me outside
You said I was bad from the start
Jealous words
Won’t lie still
In my heart
Oh, I knew when we met
You’d never forget
Each pothole and bump in the road
And if I left your side
What a blow to your pride
Is you’re mad at me, I suppose
The doubt in me’s growing
And it hurts me just knowing
Another night’s sleep will depart
Jealous words
Won’t lie still
In my heart
Jealous words
Won’t lie still
In my heart
Jealous words
Won’t lie still
In my heart
