Mickey Gilley – Room Full of Roses

Gilley never intended to have a hit with "Room Full of Roses," as it was designated the B-side for "She Called Me Baby." Released in April 1974, the song was Gilley's first of seventeen No. 1 hits on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart.

Single George Morgan Columbia 1949
Mickey Gilley – Room Full of Roses, written by Tim Spencer, is a song first recorded in 1949 by country music singer George Morgan. The original George Morgan version was released in the summer of 1949, and reached No. 4 on the Billboard country chart that August. A Sons of the Pioneers version reached #10 on the country charts in the same year. It was famously covered in 1974 by up-and-coming singer Mickey Gilley. The Gilley version was his first major hit and broke open his career.

In 1973, Mickey Gilley was enjoying brisk business with his nightclub, Gilley’s Club, when he cut four sides for his own label, Astro Records. Those songs included «She Called Me Baby» (for a local jukebox owner), «Abilene» and «When Two Worlds Collide.» The fourth was «Room Full of Roses,» a song written by Sons of the Pioneers member Tim Spencer that had been recorded by George Morgan. The song had already become somewhat of a country crooner standard, after it had been recorded by Jim Reeves for his 1960 album The Intimate Jim Reeves and by Dean Martin for his 1963 album Dean «Tex» Martin: Country Style.
Gilley never intended to have a hit with «Room Full of Roses,» as it was designated the B-side for «She Called Me Baby.» In fact, Gilley was not even happy with the final product of that recording. «I liked ‘She Called Me Baby,’ and thought to myself, well, I finally got something.» Gilley once told Country Music magazine. «Then I flipped the record over. All I could hear was that damn steel guitar. The echo was just bounding off the walls.»
Released in April 1974, the song was Gilley’s first of seventeen No. 1 hits on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart.

Mickey Gilley – Room Full of Roses Lyrics

If I sent a rose to you
For everytime you made me blue
You’d have a room full of roses
And if I sent a rose of white
For every time I cried all night
You’d have a room full of roses
And if I took the petals
I would tear them all apart
I’d be tearing at the roses
Just the way you broke my heart
If someday you’re feeling blue
And you could send a roses, maybe too
Don’t send me a room full of roses
But I want my arms around you
And if I took the petals
I would tear them all apart
I’d be tearing at the roses
Just the way you broke my heart
If someday you’re feeling blue
And you could send a roses, maybe too
Don’t send me a room full of roses
But I want my arms around you
