Hank Snow - I Threw Away The Rose

Hank Snow sings I Threw The Rose Away.


"Once I lived a life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I planned
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose..."

It's my first time to know Hank sings Merle Haggard tune. I love this.

I remember Merle did a inpersonation of Hank Snow in his live in Philladelphia in

'70s.

Yeah, Merle used to do those impersonations on shows and on stage, they were pretty cool. He used to do Hank Snow and Marty Robbins really well.
