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 |
