Red Leaf Rag

[Intro]
Mary knows I couldn't sing a note
If I could kill, if I could kill
Mary knows I'd never cane a stroke
If I could kill, if I could kill
Ah, [?]

[Verse]
The devil grows, the strawberry grows
He's a red leaf, a red leaf
Ah, but he don't know
How I hold a rose in my front teeth
In my front teeth
Ah, [?]

[Outro]
Mary knows I wouldn't need a rose
If I could breathe, if I could breathe
Oh Mary knows i'd never trade my rose, for a red leaf
For a red leaf
Ah, [?]
