| She was as tender as a rose | |
| She was as soft as snowy down | |
| And from her head down to her toes | |
| She was a dream that hung around | |
| She was as fresh as april | |
| Warm as may | |
| And all the fellas threw their hearts away | |
| But all of her lovin was | |
| Joe’s she was as tender as a rose | |
| I guess that | |
| Joe was pretty sick | |
| His feelings went from cold to hot | |
| Her love to him was just a kick | |
| His ego needed her a lot | |
| And when he took her away she wore a smile | |
| Fate crossed its fingers for that lovely child | |
| Cause all of her lovin’ was | |
| Joe’sShe was as tender as a rose | |
| She came back walking all alone | |
| She wasn’t gone for very long | |
| She came back with a heart of stone | |
| We knew that everything had gone wrong | |
| And when you ask her why she’s out each night | |
| She’ll say, “ | |
| Brother, once | |
| I tried to be rightonce all of my loving was | |
| Joe’sI was as tender as a rose.” | |
