Nosey Rosey by Kevin Williams
Nosey Rosey
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro spoken]
N.C.
You know, it occured to me that some folks carry the gospel
N.C.
And others, carry the gossip.
[Verse 1]
A E7
It happened in a little congregation Sunday night
A
A tiny lady in her eighties, her hair of snowy white
A7 D
Stood up to give her prayer request and with no guilt or shame
G#7 A7
She requested prayer for all the sinners there
And she called them all by name.
[Verse 2]
A7
She said let's pray that Brother ben has strength
E7
To make some better choices
Than spending all his hard earned money
A7
Betting on the horses
D7
And Sister Mary-Jean's been seen at Brother Orvilles house
A7 E7 A7
Discussing choir arrangments, in very low-cut blouse
[Chorus]
D7 A7
They call her Nosey (Nosey) Sister Rosey (Sister Rosey)
E7 A7
With a Bible in her hand, spreading gossip all she can
D7 B7
She'll meet you at the alter and she'll ask how she should pray
E7
Then she spreads the word of what she's heard
A7
That's the Nosey Rosey way.
[Verse 3]
A7
Now our pastors wife, leads a life
E7
That sometimes gets so tough
When the families gone, she's been known
A7
To take a dip of snuff
D7
And Sister D playes the lottery, though she's never won a dollar
A7
And Deacon Brown's been seen down town
E7 N.C. A7
With lipstick on his collar
[Chorus]
D7 A7
They call her Nosey (Nosey) Sister Rosey (Sister Rosey)
E7 A7
With a Bible in her hand, spreading gossip all she can
D B7
She'll meet you at the alter and she'll ask how she should pray
E7
Then she spreads the word of what she's heard
A7
That's the Nosey Rosey way.
[Verse 4] (Spoken)
A E7
Just last week the late night news, showed with great detail
A
How the police had made a casino raid, threw everyone in jail
A7 D
They showed a tiny lady in her eighties, her hair of snowy white
A E7 A7
In a set of silver handcuffs, she was putting up a fight
[Chorus]
D7 A7
And it was Nosey (Nosey) Sister Rosey(Sister Rosey)
E7 A7
Ah, she learned her lesson well, while sitting in a cell
D7 B7
Gossip was her past time, but she's done it for the last time
E7
Now she knows that she was wrong
(She keeps her nose where it belongs)
A
You reap just what you sow, that's what Nosey Rosey knows.
