Hugh X. Lewis - Roses Are Red (my Love) lyrics

I met you in a garden in an old Kentucky town The sun was shining down You wore a gingham gown I kissed you as I placed a yellow tulip in your hair Upon my coat you pinned a rose so rare Time has not changed your loveliness You're just as sweet to me I love you yet, I can't forget the days that used to be When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip And I wore a big red rose When you caressed me, 'twas then Heaven blessed me What a blessing, no one knows You made life cheery when you called me dearie 'Twas down where the blue gra** grows Your lips were sweeter then julep when you wore that tulip And I wore a big red rose When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip And I wore a big red rose When you caressed me, 'twas then Heaven blessed me What a blessing, no one knows You made life cheery when you called me dearie 'Twas down where the blue gra** grows Your lips were sweeter then julep when you wore that tulip And I wore a big red rose
