I'll never forget that day, when I met sweet fiddlin Rose
Music so sweet, I felt it in my toes
Sitting too close, she warned me, then I felt her bow
From that day on, I was known, as One-Eyed Joe

chorus
Don’t make my glass eye cry, it gets my shirt all wet
When we’re out there on the dance floor, girl you make me sweat
If you ever think of leaving me, you know I’ll cry a river
Kiss me again sweet Rosie, make my heart, pound and quiver

Who’d have thought it would change my life, playing a little barn dance
An accidental, poke in the eye, that turned into romance
Amazing things happen, when worlds collide
Now I know, to always sit, on her right side!
