Lyrics A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy's Grave - Ralph Stanley

A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy's Grave

all the song birds were singing
and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave
I planted dad a rose some time ago
and oh that Rose how it did grow
Springtime has come I’m glad to say
and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave
oh that rose it bloomed so red
and spread its beauty or that bed
then a robin came one day
and there she build a nest on daddy’s grave
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
and oh that Rose how it did grow
spring time has come I’m glad to say
and a robin build a nest on daddys grave
oh the rose how it did bloom
I believe the Lord is coming soon
that’s what the rose it seemed to say
and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
and oh the rose how it did grow
spring time has come I’m glad to say
and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave
