It's about Rosey (or Rosanna). The song was written by June.

I always thought it was for Rosanne and written by Johnny Cash. I have the cd that the song is on and Johnny is singing it. I will have to dig it out and do some more checking. Do you find this valuable?

Actually the song was written by June, Anita & Helen. Never heard June sing it only Johnny Cash. Do you find this valuable?

I don't think she did. They might be singing background, but I believe she just wrote it (along with her sisters).

So which daughter do you think it was. I thought it was Rosanne because June always called Rosie "Rosie" or her "little Rose" ?????? Do you find this valuable?

Her real name is Rosanna. Rosey was her nickname. Sometimes June called her the Wildwood Rose. Rosanne is just Rosanne. It does get confusing. June mentioned how there was confusion over their names since especially since they were both singers and their daughters in her book. At the time the song was written, Rosey was just becoming a teenager. I think it was more a fun song about a parent coming to terms that her daughter is growing up. I don't think it was about drugs or even a wild lifestyle as the song has 'Rosanna' saying all I ever gave him was a smile. Rosey did have a rough life though.

I agree also. It's funny all this time I thought it was about Rosanne because she had just moved into their home after graduation. Do you find this valuable?

Rozanna was Rosey's given name. The song was written by the Carter girls.She was too young to be too wild at that point but it was written about a daughter growing up and becoming somewhat out of control. They used Rosey (Rozanna Nix) as the character.

Rozanna Lee Nix wasn't on drugs when this song was written. It was written very early in our elementary school days. Her name was used but at the time as a fictional character. Aunt June, Aunt Helen and Mom wrote it. Uncle John, of course recorded it.

Glad you cleared that up. I knew it was about one of the girls when they were young. They did so many cute songs. My nine yr old grandson listens to some of them.
