Second Hand Rose - Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

Ferlin Eugene Husky was an early American country music singer who was equally adept at the genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.

Second hand shoes second hand clothes they all call her second hand rose They all think they're pretty smart but rose don't have a second hand heart I love a little girl who lives across the way I go to see her nearly every day But when I get the money I'll take her far away So they can't gather around her and say Second hand shoes... They tease her about her clothes and things It's hard to believe some folks can be so mean But when I get the money I'll buy her the best I'll take rose you can have all the rest Second hand shoes... Second hand shoes...
