hey were strolling in the gloaming Where the roses were in bloom A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true And their hearts were filled with sorrow For their thoughts were of tomorrow As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
Do not ask me love to linger When you know not what to say For duty calls your sweetheart's name again And your heart need not be sighing If I be among the dying I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
When the roses bloom again Beside the river And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain In the days of auld lang syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
Mid the rattle of the battle Came a whisper soft and low A soldier who had fallen in the fray I am dying, I am dying And I know I'll have to go But I want to tell you Before I pass away
There's a far and distant river Where the roses are in bloom A sweetheart who is waiting there for me And it's there I pray you take me I've been faithful, don't forsake me I'll be with her when the roses bloom again

ReplyDeleteWhere the roses were in bloom
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true
And their hearts were filled with sorrow
For their thoughts were of tomorrow
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
Do not ask me love to linger
When you know not what to say
For duty calls your sweetheart's name again
And your heart need not be sighing
If I be among the dying
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
When the roses bloom again
Beside the river
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
In the days of auld lang syne
I'll be with you sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
Mid the rattle of the battle
Came a whisper soft and low
A soldier who had fallen in the fray
I am dying, I am dying
And I know I'll have to go
But I want to tell you
Before I pass away
There's a far and distant river
Where the roses are in bloom
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me
And it's there I pray you take me
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
