[Chorus]
Master, Master give me roses
Roses on my white dress.
Stick the flowers in the naked
untouched girl's body.
Once a good girl went out,
leaving the beautiful childhood's place;
left the parents and even
the man, she was engaged to.
She halted in front of a house,
a man was to be seen there
sticking pictures in naked skin,
and then the good girl shouted out:
[Chorus]
Master, Master give me roses
Roses on my white dress.
Stick the flowers in the naked
untouched girl's body.
"These roses cost blood."
softly and well the master thus spoke,
"Too soon they will end your young life,
I'd rather give you none."
But the girl had gone wild,
sunk down on her knees, waiting,
until he no longer withstood
and took the needles in hand.
[Chorus]
Master, Master give me roses
Roses on my white dress.
Stick the flowers in the naked
untouched girl's body.
And out of his deep punctures
leaves and blossoms grew,
and unknown griefs grew
in the young girl's heart.
She was spotted later
standing at the water's edge
And it was never known
what price the Master had taken.
[Chorus]
Master, Master give me roses
Roses on my white dress.
Stick the flowers in the naked
untouched girl's body.
Master, Master give me roses
Roses on my white dress.
Stick the flowers in the naked
untouched girl's body.
