  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    We all need to cut down on our plastic use, so the CD version of the album comes in an eco-friendly card sleeve printed with a retro design.

    Smaller, lighter and better for the environment than a traditional jewel case. What's not to like? We've ditched the shrink-wrap too.

lyrics

I pulled into Athens on the morning train
Some trouble up in Robbinsville had besmirched my good name
So I got me a ticket & headed out of town
Before the law could hear about what had gone down
& on the day in Athens found a bar to quench my thirst
That’s where I saw my sweet Rosalynd first

Rosalynd, Rosalynd
The sweetest face that you will ever find
Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh Rosalynd, Oh my sweet Rosalynd

She poured a drink for me, and said with a smile
Stranger won’t you stay here and talk with me a while
And I just looked right at here, and I thought “Do you know?”
There’s worse places than this to be for a man who’s laying low

Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh how those green eyes forever haunt my mind
Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh Rosalynd, Oh my sweet Rosalynd

And once drink had been taken, she said “would it be alright
For you to come upstairs with me and lie with me tonight?”
And upstairs in her chamber, as I slowly undressed
That’s when my Rosalynd she thrust a knife into my chest

Rosalynd, Rosalynd
The sweetest face that you will ever find
Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh Rosalynd, Oh my sweet Rosalynd

And as I lay there, on that bedroom floor
I realised that the time had come when I would live no more
And the last words I heard spoken, as she looked down from above
Were “the man you killed in Robbinsville is the only one I love”

Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh how those green eyes forever haunt my mind
Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh Rosalynd, Oh my sweet Rosalynd
Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh Rosalynd, Oh my sweet Rosalynd
Rosalynd, Rosalynd
Oh Rosalynd, Oh my sweet Rosalynd
