I met my darlin'
in the springtime
When all the flowers
were in bloom
And like the flowers
our love blossomed
We married
in the month of June
Our love was like
a burning ember
It warmed us
as the cold winds blow
We had sunshine
in December
And grew our roses
in the snow
Now God has
taken my darlin'
And left me
with a memory
A memory I will
always cherish
Are these last words
he said to me
Our love was like
a burning ember
It warmed us
as the cold winds blow
We had sunshine
in December
And grew our roses
in the snow
My darlin's
buried on the hillside
Where all the
wild spring flowers grow
And when the
winter snows start fallin'
On his grave
I'll place a rose
Our love was like
a burning ember
It warmed us
as the cold winds blow
We had sunshine
in December
And grew our roses
in the snow
