Rosie Bokay

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Rosie Bokay

E A E A

E B A E
Rosie's the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern
B E
That's where I'll be all night long
B A E
She pours me my label and sits at my table
F# B7
And hums me a honky tonk song.

E B A E
Rosie don't go to the PTA meetings
B E
And the preacher has not seen her face
A
But the hypocrites naggin' don't keep me from draggin'
E B E
On my darlin' Rosie Bokay.

Chorus:
E B A E
I need Rosie Bokay
F# B7
I need somebody to love all my troubles away
E B A E
I need Rosie Bokay
E A
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar
E B E
And I need Rosie Bokay.

Honky tonk life ain't a life to be proud of
But it's better than bein' alone
Everyone tells me that Rosie ain't pretty
But I've got a mind of my own.

If not for the long nights that I spent with Rosie
My days would be cloudy and grey
If I was the mayor then do me a favor
And bring in more Rosie Bokay.

Chorus
