Ah, la, la, la, yes, yes!
Alright, Thomas, let's hear you sing

A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Of fragrance and beauty divine (oh, tell me)
A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
A rose that I thought was all mine

Someone else got the rose, I got the thorn (that's bad)
Now her fragrance is just a memory (oh-haw)
A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Whose love was never meant for me

Yeah
Oh, Jonnie fiddle

A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Causing tears to fall like the rain (oh-haw)
A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Whose leaving left sorrow and pain

Someone else got the rose, I got the thorn
Now her fragrance is just a memory
A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Whose love was never meant for me
