x3 (After the third play few times)

Verse

This is the story of valerie rose,

Tied up and waiting and no where to go,

Once was at last, now she is gone,

(play few times)

This is a story of valerie rose

Chorus

 Hear the long, lonely cry

From the bottom of the river that won't ever dry

(Keep up three times)

And its too late for valerie

She's out there just picking flowers by the road,

Along come a man with no where to go,

Took her to the river, and there she was done,

(play few times)

This is the story of valerie rose

Chorus

 hear the long, lonely cry

from the bottom of a river that won't ever dry

and its too late for valerie

Bridge

When did she want to come back

Maybe i'll hear her gonna cry

Did you even listen

Did you ever

Did you ever

Did you ever

  (silent) ( on rose)

Hear from valerie rose
