Sangtekst: Andy Griggs. Tattoo Rose.

She said, I had friend
And she was gigglin', my name is Caroline
But those who know me best call me
Tattoo Rose

And that got me wonderin'
Which pretty end she had it inked in
Forbidden, well hidden
Underneath her clothes

And I asked, where is your little secret?
She said, you know I keep it

Just a little south of my Mason-Dixon tan line
This yellow rose of Texas, that's right
Has never seen the sunshine

Since that spring break down in Key West
Oh, what a beautiful canvas
For a little tattoo rose

The way she moved it
And grooved it to the music
Was soakin' up my mind
And getting me high

And I said, I gotta know
Just how low it really goes
Hey baby, just maybe
You could show me sometime

She said, don't think so, honey
Boy, you should get so lucky

Just a little south of my Mason-Dixon tan line
This yellow rose of Texas, that's right
Has never seen the sunshine

Since that spring break down in Key West
Oh, what a beautiful canvas
For a little tattoo rose

Where is your little secret
She said, you know I keep it

Just a little south of my Mason-Dixon tan line
This yellow rose of Texas, that's right
Has never seen the sunshine

Since that spring break down in Key West
Oh, what a beautiful canvas
For a little tattoo rose

Yeah, tattoo rose
I gotta see that tattoo
