The Carter Family - When the Roses Come Again lyrics

[Verse 1] Neath the shadow, down the meadow, leaves lying on each side By the river, flowers shiver, fading, dying in their pride Someone straying, long delaying, stands a-parting down the lane I must leave you, someone's saying, till the roses come again [Chorus] When the roses come again When the roses come again I will meet you, I will greet you When the roses come again Oh-la-lay-ee, Ah-le-hee, Ah-le-hee [Verse 2] As I wander, I will ponder on a happy bye and bye On a summer over yonder with joy to you and I Do not borrow grief or sorrow in the hours that yet remain We shall know a glad tomorrow when the roses come again [Chorus] [Verse 3] Sunshine over clover blossom on the meadow wide Summer's fingers sweetly linger everywhere on every side Someone's roaming in the gloaming, happy hearts that feel no pain All their sadness turned to gladness, now the roses come again [Chorus]
