Brendon Walmsley – Rose & Rodeo lyrics

She watched him ride wild horses knowing that she shouldn't go
To follow around that young cowboy the one they called Rodeo
You're not to be seen with the likes of him her father didn't want him around
For Rose was his only daughter the darling of the Downs

A dance had been planned for that evening Rose cried as she left the homestead
She could feel her heart slowly breaking from the words her father had said
She just sat by the window and listened to the travelling country band
When Rodeo walked ?cross the dance floor and held out his hand

chorus
May I have this dance pretty lady
Forget what the others will say
People might think that we're crazy
But I'd have it no other way
As long as we're always together
There's one thing that only we know
This love will last forever
Rose and Rodeo

Now it's been many year's since that evening that old hall's not used anymore
Except for an old man who's walking ?cross that old dusty wooden dance floor
The children all laugh through the window the danceband's not there to be heard
But her eyes light up as he holds out his hand she still remembers those words

chorus

Their love will last forever
Rose and Rodeo
