Rose Of Jericho Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's raise our drinks to Delilah Rose
Secondhand soul, chief mistress to rock and roll
Her mama's first love was a king from Tupelo
Rockabilly sets, chops, and pompadours collected in her photos

[Chorus]
With no regret, a life of excess
Rock and roll ain't dead yet
Resurrected like the rose of Jericho
[Verse 2]
Let's raise 'em up for Blackie Pepperbush
She liked to sing along with the queen of Nutbush
She liked to lead the toast, the first to hit the floor
Always slip into the club through the backdoor
Vagabond soul from Tokyo, yeah, to Chicago [Chorus]
With no regret, a life of excess
Rock and roll ain't dead yet
Resurrected like the rose of Jericho

[Verse 3]
Seasons come and seasons go
Delilah and Blackie are bound by the tattoo of a rose
She kissed her friends, the tropical winds
The sunset's puttin' on a show
And Northern Lights, Hawaiian skies
Where did the time go?

[Chorus]
With no regret, a life of excess
Rock and roll ain't dead yet
Resurrected like the rose of Jericho
Like the rose of Jericho, yeah
Like the rose of Jericho
