What-A-Mess

Artist/Band: Anderson Lynn Lyrics for Song: Rose Garden Lyrics for Album: Golden Classics Edition I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, There's gotta be a little rain sometimes. When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live, Or let go. I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. I could promise you things like big diamond rings, But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover. So you better think it over. Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true, I would give you the world right now on a silver platter, But what would it matter? So smile for a while and let's be jolly: Love shouldn't be so melancholy. Come along and share the good times while we can. I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, There's gotta be a little rain sometimes. Instrumental break. I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon, But if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know. You better look before you leap, still waters run deep, And there won't always be someone there to pull you out, And you know what I'm talkin' about. So smile for a while and let's be jolly: Love shouldn't be so melancholy. Come along and share the good times while we can. I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, There's gotta be a little rain sometimes. To fade. http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/anderson-lynn/rose-garden-279.html http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/anderson-lynn/rose-garden-279.html Aug 07 06, 4:45 AM

Joe South, who wrote the song, recorded it on his debut album in 1968. However, it was Lynn Anderson's version, 2-3 years later, that made it a hit. So while Lynn Anderson would be the most common answer, and possibly the one sought, the correct answer to the question *as asked* is Joe South. http://www.mp3.com/albums/41331/reviews.html Aug 07 06, 9:19 AM
