Lyrics:

Out on the lonely hillside
C#m E
In a cabin low and small
C#m E
Lived the sweetest rose of color
B E
My Rosa Lee McFall
I asked her to be my darling
And this is what she said
You know that I will only be happy
When you and I are wed
*Grisman mando solo*
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jerry_garcia_and_david_grisman/rosa_lee_mcfall_tab.html ]
Her hair was brightsome color
And her voice was sweet to me
I know that I will only be happy
And I thought that she loved me
I asked her to be my darling
And this is what she said
You know that I will only be happy
When you and I are wed
*Rice gitfiddle solo*
I've searched the wide world over
In the cities great and small
But I've never found another
Like my Rosa Lee McFall
Then God way up in heaven
One day for her did call
I lost my bride, oh how I loved her
My Rosa Lee McFall

This is my first tab, the end lick of the outro solo MAY be a little rough. watch for
quarter and sixteenth notes in the solos. This was taken directly off of the pizza tapes.
to the recording to get the feel. enjoy!
