Second hand hats, second hand clothes
thats why they call me "Second-hand Rose",
even the piano in the parlour
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar.

Second -hand curls, second-hand pearls
I never get a thing that ain't been used...

Even Jake the plumber,he's the man I adore
had the nerve to tell me he'd been married before!
Everyone knows that i'm just "second- hand Rose",
from Second Avenue.....

Barbara Streisand...love that song Rose....and Rambling rose....I think of it every time I see your name :-)

Thanks Ellan, amazing how two songs sum up my life so well! (rueful lol)

RAMBLING ROSE, RAMBLING ROSE
WHY YOU RAMBLE NO ONE KNOWS
WILD AND WIND BLOWN
THAT'S HOW YOU'VE GROWN
WHO CAN PAINT YOU MY RAMBLING ROSE

RAMBLING ROSE, RAMBLING ROSE
WHY YOU RAMBLE NO ONE KNOWS
WHO WILL LOVE YOU WITH A LOVE TRUE
WHEN YOUR RAMBLING DAYS ARE GONE

RAMBLING ROSE, RAMBLING ROSE
WHY I WANT YOU HEAVEN KNOWS
THOUGH I LOVE YOU WITH A LOVE TRUE
WHO CAN CLING TO A RAMBLING ROSE.

Rag Doll by Frankie Valli and the four seasons



Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Hand-me-down) When she was just a kid her clothes were hand-me-down
(Hand-me-down) They always laughed at her when she came into town
Called her rag doll, little rag doll
Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Sad rag doll) I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could
(If I could) My folks won't let me 'cause they say that she's no good
She's a rag doll, such a rag doll
Though I love her so, I can't let her know

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
I love you just the way you are

A-ahh, ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

Used to sing them both....and quite loudly when I had nowt lol

not sure about upsetting anyone's "flower cart" lol ,suppose upsetting the apple cart the same? Done that for sure!

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

lol Ellan, it would have to be someone very special for me to consider , learned the hard way that (and this isn't terribly apt considering I am veggie lol).....

you shouldn't settle for mince when you have been used to steak (LOL that made me laugh as it is perilously close to the truth!!)
