Mr. John Lee knew about your family You came when I was lonesome In the fairest of the spring But I did not care for your wedding ring But I did care for Marie Farewell, my sweet Bowled you off and took me How my hair was a raven And my eyes were shining bright But I did not love you quite as well As your darling loving wife But every time that you see Your Velveteen Rose Then think of how you once called me Your Velveteen Rose Mr. John Lee 'Twas an act that you told me The burning thoughts you harbored me The sheriff found your sweet Marie Floating by the river weeds In the fields of green But every time that you see Your Velveteen Rose Then think of how you once called me Your Velveteen Rose
