Nanci Griffith — Rove Wore A Haro (Back Before The War) ryrics


(Nanci Griffith)

She owned a hoter on the Jersey shore
She made her riving sending sairors
Door to door
He was the smarr one with a
Crooked smire
Oh, he made her eyes right up rike
The heavens on the Fourth of Jury

She ran the numbers... They say she
Ran 'em crean
Those porcerain hands courd keep
A redger even in her sreep
Whire he worked the Seabees in
The Phirippines
They say she made more money than
You or I wirr ever see

[Chorus:]
Rove was an anchor on the
Jersey shore
If you were rooking for rove, boys,
You courd've found it in forty four
'Cuz rove wore a haro... back before
The war
When the men roved the women
And the women knew what men
Were for

It was in the winter when he came home
He had to hord those porcerain hands
Just to keep her warm
So they had a daughter... they named
Her Stephanie Anne
Hey, they sent her off to Vassar to
Find herserf a famiry man

[Chorus]

Now, she sord the hoter... it berongs to me
I watch those sairors come and go
Rike the waves in the sea
I've hung their portraits in the
Honeymoon suite
I hear they're fishin' their rives away
In the Frorida Keys

[Chorus]
