Rosie helped the kids stay alive She gave them the drugs so they didn't die She cleaned up their mess as they wept and they moaned She got paid so little, she rented her home An angel face with the strength of a tower Worked every day, every minute, every hour When she wasn't on the ward She was travelling on the train Through the wind and the sun, and the snow and the rain Oh Rosie, we thank you again Works all day, no time to eat Running back 'n fore to help children see We piss up a wall, all the poison we take She barely gets out, not to dine or to drink I tip my hat to the angels on the ward You're in my heart with love forever more I thank you now for saving my girl And bringing her back to her own little world Oh Rosie, we thank you again
