Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: The Violet and a Rose
Lyrics for Album: Lighthearted and Blue [1964]



(Mel Tillis - Bud Auge - John Reinfield)



A violet fell in love with a rose

And started it flashing from its head to its toes

Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew

A new love was born and the violet turned blue.



Roses are red, violets are blue

I'm sending red red roses to you

If you care to send some flowers to me

Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be.



--- Instrumental ---



I wanted my love to bouquet with you

But just like the rose you've proven untrue

A flower that's wild they say has no home

And just like the violet I'm left all alone.



Roses are red, violets are blue

I'm sending red red roses to you

If you care to send some flowers to me

Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be.



Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be...
