A Poor Man’s Roses Lyrics

Patsy Cline

Written by bob hilliard and milton delugg
(as recorded by patsy cline november 8, 1956)
I must make up my mind today
What to have, what to hold
A poor mans roses
Or a rich mans gold
Ones as wealthy as a king in a palace
Tho hes callous and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love
Instead of buyin it with gold
Then the poor mans roses
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That Ill never miss
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
More than any rich mans gold
(repeat last two verses)
