Penelope Rose (M. James)

Some men are cowards and some men are brave
Some share their secrets, some take them to their grave
Some walk in sunlight, some hide in shadows
But they all love Penelope Rose

He came from Baton Rouge working on a case
A law man, a good man, who lived for the chase
A picture of a woman in a red cotton dress
Was a dead man’s last caress

CHORUS:
He stared at that picture and drunk it in like gin
dangerous eyes that could make a good man sin
He’d memorized her from her head to her toes
And he’d dream about Penelope Rose

For 10 lonely years he’s worked homicide
Turning his back would be justified
But he’s tangled in a web of cases he can’t close
All tied to Penelope Rose

They call her the woman with the rose tattoo
In New Orleans she goes by Penny LaRue
He’d know her anywhere, any name, any clothes
He’ll find his Penelope Rose

CHORUS:
He’ll uncover every secret in Louisian’
They say he’s a genius - he always gets his man
Or maybe he's a mad man chasing shadows
And he’s in love with Penelope Rose

CHORUS:
Some say they’ve seen her in New Orleans
Some say they ‘ve seen her on a silver screen
He see’s a ghost when the warm wind blows
That looks like Penelope Rose
