When the Roses Bloom Again |
They were strolling in the gloaming |
Where the roses were in bloom |
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true |
And their hearts were filled with sorrow |
For their thoughts were of tomorrow |
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue |
Do not ask me, love, to linger |
For you know not what to say |
For duty calls your sweetheart’s name again |
And your heart need not be sighing |
If I be among the dying |
I’ll be with you when the roses bloom again |
When the roses bloom again beside the river |
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain |
In the days of auld lang syne |
I’ll be with you sweetheart mine |
I’ll be with you when the roses bloom again |
With the rattle of the battle |
Came a whisper soft and low |
A soldier who had fallen in the fray |
I am dying, I am dying |
And I know I have to go But I want to tell you before I pass away |
There’s a far and distant river |
Where the roses are in bloom |
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me And it’s there I pray you take me |
I’ve been faithful, don’t forsake me |
I’ll be with her when the roses bloom again |
