Rose of Jericho Lyrics

Let's raise our drinks to Delilah Rose
Secondhand soul
Chief mistress to rock n roll
Her mama's first love
Was a king from Tupelo
Rockabilly sets, chops and pompadours
Collected in her photos
With no regret, a life of excess
Rock n roll ain't dead yet
Resurrected
Like the rose of Jericho

Let's raise 'em up for Blackie Pepperbush
She likes to sing
Along with the queen from Nutbush
She likes to lead the toast
She's the first to hit the floor
Always slippin into the club
Through the backdoor
She's a vagabond soul
From Tokyo yes to Chicago
With no regret, a life of excess
Rock n roll ain't dead yet
Resurrected
Like the rose of Jericho

Seasons come and seasons go
Delilah and Blackie
Bound by the tattoo of a rose
She kissed her friends
In the tropical winds
Sunsets
As they're putting on a show
Northern lights
To Hawaiian skies
Where did the time go
With no regret, a life of excess
Rock n roll ain't dead yet
Resurrected
Like the rose of Jericho

Like the rose of Jericho
Like the rose of Jericho
Like the rose of Jericho
