About

“Sweet Rosalyn” is a ballad about a ‘lady of the night’ named Rosalyn who turns to prostitution in order to get by. Later in the song, she calls someone who is supposed to be a client, but that client ends up being a priest who attempts to bring her to salvation.

Sweet Rosalyn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slappin' leather was devised
During a wild streak in her life
She has a cheap apartment up on Royal Street
She brought home just enough to keep her on her feet

She don't believe in anything
But it you ask her, she'll say
"There's plenty of things to believe in"

[Chorus]
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved

[Verse 2]
She got a number off the bathroom wall
She was lookin' for a good time, so she made the call
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
Sneaky little priest trying to reach out to the swine

He said, "Hello, my name is Father Tim
It seems to me your zeal for this life
Has been wearing a little thin"

[Chorus]
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved

[Bridge]
Well, maybe we all could use a little grace
To know when to run or when to
Stay in one place

[Chorus]
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved
