I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover so you'd better think it over
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
[ steel ]
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap still water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly...
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Loretta Lynn, all'anagrafe Loretta Webb (1932-2022), è stata una delle più influenti cantautrici country statunitensi di tutti i tempi. Nata in Kentucky, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, scrivendo canzoni che riflettevano le esperienze della vita quotidiana nelle zone rurali del Sud. Lynn ha raggiunto il successo nazionale con brani come "Coal Miner's Daughter" e "The Pill", diventando un'icona per le donne country e una voce potente per i diritti delle lavoratrici. La sua musica, spesso autobiografica e diretta, ha affrontato temi come la povertà, l'amore, la famiglia e la lotta per l'emancipazione femminile. Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui tre Grammy Awards, ed è stata inserita nella Country Music Hall of Fame nel 1988. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1970) e "Fist City" (1968).
