(Ruth Franks)
|
I met my darlin' in the springtime
|
When all the flowers were in bloom
|
And like the flowers our love blossomed
|
We married in the month of June
|
|
Our love was like a burning ember
|
It warmed us as a golden glow
|
We had sunshine in December
|
And threw our roses in the snow
|
|
Now God has taken my darlin'
|
And left me with a memory
|
A memory I will always cherish
|
Are these last words he said to me
|
|
Our love was like a burning ember
|
It warmed us as a golden glow
|
We had sunshine in December
|
And threw our roses in the snow
|
|
My darlin's buried on the hillside
|
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
|
And when winter snows start fallin'
|
On his grave I'll place a rose
|
|
Our love was like a burning ember
|
It warmed us as cold winds blow
|
We had sunshine in December
|
And threw our roses in the snow
|
