[00:00.00]Roses and Thorns (Album Version) - Michael Martin Murphey/Ryan Murphey
[00:16.84]I asked the old bandito
[00:20.39]What should I do to get her back
[00:24.68]She's been taken by a bad man
[00:28.74]His ways are wrong his heart is black
[00:32.89]Should I try to make a rescue
[00:37.09]Or wait until he sets her free
[00:41.14]The old bandito looked in the distance
[00:44.93]Drank his tequila and said to me
[00:48.68]There are no roses without thorns
[00:56.50]Here in this desert where I was born
[01:04.47]Between pain and duty all men are torn
[01:12.62]There are no roses without thorns
[01:22.22]Then I asked the old bandito
[01:25.85]What if I win her back someday
[01:29.99]What should I do to try to keep her
[01:34.03]What should I do to make her stay
[01:38.97]Boy please heed my answer
[01:42.27]For there can be but only one
[01:46.39]When you win her from your rival
[01:51.19]The struggle has just begun
[01:53.91]There are no roses without thorns
[02:02.16]Here in this desert where I was born
[02:09.98]Between pain and duty all men are torn
[02:18.12]There are no roses without thorns
[02:31.94]I fought for her and won her
[02:35.74]From my rival I set her free
[02:40.22]But every night it haunts me
[02:43.69]What the bandito said to me
[02:47.89]Boy if you fight for her and you win her
[02:51.87]Just remember if you do
[02:56.47]You must try your best to hold her
[02:59.91]Without binding her to you
[03:03.72]There are no roses without thorns
[03:11.49]Here in this desert where I was born
[03:19.63]Between pain and duty all men are torn
[03:27.82]There are no roses without thorns
[03:36.23]No no no
[03:41.17]No no no
[03:45.18]No no no
[03:50.40]No no no
[03:54.32]No no no
[03:58.38]Roses without thorns
[04:02.11]No no no
[04:06.37]Roses without thorns
