Ma Blushin' Rosie (Ma Posie Sweet) From the Broadway musical "Fiddle-Dee-Dee" Composer(s): Edgar Smith; John Strombeg Performer(s): Al Jolson; and various other artists
There's a little bunch of sweetness That I long to call my bride And believe me I'm not happy Lest my baby's by my side
Her baptismal name was Rosie But she put's the rose to shame And almost every night You'll here me call her name
Rosie, you are my posie You are my hearts bouquet Come out here in the moonlight There's something sweet, love I wanna say
Your honey boy I'm waiting Those ruby lips to greet Don't be so captivating Ma blushin' Rosie Ma Posie sweet
Rosie, you are my posie You are my hearts bouquet Come out, here in the moonlight There's something sweet, love I wanna say
Your honey boy I'm waiting Those ruby lips to greet Don't be so captivating Ma blushin' Rosie Ma posie sweet
*****
Note: Al Jolson sang the repeat chorus as:
Rosie, you are my posie You are my hearts bouquet Come out, here in the moonlight There's something sweet love I'm gonna sing about my baby
Your honey, your boy I'm waiting Those rubies, those lips to greet Don't be so captivating My blushin' rosie My posie sweet
