Lyrics and music by Dave Swarbrick. From the "Fairport Live Convention" album in 1974.



D     Dmaj7
I know Rosie,
     G     A        D    G  Dsus4  A
You're living in a world you didn't make?
         D      Dmaj7
And I know it's hard feeling happy?
      G             A       Bm  G   A
When the things you want aren't even there to take


 G   Fm         Em    D?
Come on Rosie, rosin up the bow?
Dmaj7                 D7
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know?
G     Fm       Em          D
Lie down cozy and let's learn to take things slow
?Dmaj7             G       Em
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know?
    A
Of my Rosie
?G      D    A      D
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.

D        Dmaj7
Throw away your uniform?
G         A          D   G Dsus4  A
Now's the time to take things by the hand
?     D          Dmaj7
Come on in and take your coat off
?G         A      Bm
Settle down and listen to the band
?         G   A
And ain't that grand, Rosie


 G   Fm         Em    D?
Come on Rosie, rosin up the bow?
Dmaj7                 D7
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know?
G     Fm       Em          D
Lie down cozy and let's learn to take things slow
?Dmaj7             G       Em
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know?
    A
Of my Rosie
?G      D    A      D  D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
?G      D    A      D  D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
?G      D    A      D  D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
?G      D    A      D
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
