It was first recorded by Billy Joe Royal on his 1967 studio album Billy Joe Royal Featuring “Hush“. Versions by South himself and Dobie Gray appeared shortly after the original. Gray’s version became a minor hit in North America in 1969. In 1970, Lynn Anderson recorded “Rose Garden“ after hearing Joe South’s version. Lyrics: I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There’s gotta be a little rain sometime When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa I beg your 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 better think it over Well, if sweet-talkin’ 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 your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There’s gotta be a little rain some time I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden 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 waters run 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 Love shouldn’t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There’s gotta be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Follow Emily Linge!
