Question
A BALLAD TYPE SONG ABOUT A GIRL NAMED ROSANNA WHO LEAVES A CHURCH THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PIANO IN ARKANSAS. SHE LEAVES, AND COMES BACK ONE DAY A CHANGED PERSON. THE CHORUS SAYS SING ROSANNA,SING ROSANNA, SING ROSANNA TO THE KING OF KINGS. CAN YOU GET ME THE LYRICS TO THE SONG? DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO SANG IT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.  HOPPY

Answer
Hi Hoppy,

I must assume your 'question' is an attempt at levity.

To quote from the one Google hit that I found when making doubly sure of my instincts :-

'...Rosanna age 3 singing at a pre school carol concert in a very loud voice
"Sing Rosanna , Sing Rosanna, Sing Rosanna to the king of kings"...'

That, AFAIK, is the only situation where such words are likely to be sung.

If you believe otherwise, please provide me with a lot more information, to back up your assertion that this is a song which has been given serious currency. Perhaps you recall *where* and *when* you heard it?

Cheers,

Mike
