Rose Garden


by Lynn Anderson


album: Rose Garden (1970)


(Joe South)





I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden


Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes


When you take you gotta give, so live and let live or let go


I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.





I could promise you things


Like big diamond rings


But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover


So you'd better think it over.





When it's sweet talking


You could make it come true


I would give you the world right now on a silver platter


But what would it matter.





So smile for a while and let's be jolly


Love shouldn't be so melancholy


Come along and share the good times while we can


I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.





--- Instrumental ---





I could sing you a tune


And promise you the moon


But if that's what it takes to hold you


I'd just as soon let you go.





But there's one thing I want you to know


You better look before you leap still water runs deep


And there won't always be someone there to pull you out


And you know what I'm talking about.





So smile for a while and let's be jolly


Love shouldn't be so melancholy


Come along and share the good times while we can


I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.





I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden...

Loretta Lynn didnt record it until 1971








In 1970, things changed for Lynn Anderson dramatically. In 1970, she debuted her next single called "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden", written by Joe South. Nobody expected that the song would become such a big hit. "Rose Garden" became Anderson's biggest hit, reaching #1 on the Country charts and #3 on the Pop charts. The song also went to reach the Adult Contemporary Charts and went on to become a hit in fifteen other countries.
