Lyrics:

Be my woman gal, I'll be your man
Be my woman gal, I'll be your man

Everyday's a Sunday dollar in-a your hand
Everyday's a Sunday dollar in-a your hand

Hup there Rosy, hup there Rosy, hup there Rosy

Stick to the promise gal that you made me
You wasn't gonna marry till I go free

When she walk she reel and rock behind
Ain't that enough to make a convict smile
