Roses in the Snow

(Ruth Franks)



I met my darlin' 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 a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw our roses in the snow.

Now God has taken my darlin'

And left me with a memory

A mem'ry I will always cherish

Are these last words he said to me.



Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw 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 falling

On his grave, I'll place a rose.



Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw our roses in the snow...
