The Country Gentlemen - Wear A Red Rose lyrics

When youget this letter dearest darling I' ll be on the train heading home My thoughts are only of you, love While these many moons I've roamed Meet me there down by the river Where we met that summer night If you still love me wear a red rose If you don't then wear the white Tell my mom and dear old daddy That I want to see them too This world and all of its pleasures Can't take the place of home and you * Refrain I hope I'm still first in your heart, dear Or is another there instead When I meet you by the river I hope the rose you wear is red
