Will The Roses Bloom
Flatt And Scruggs · Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs
Will the flowers shed their pedals there
Will the dewdrops fall upon the roses
Where my darling sleeps beneath the sand
Her lips were like a bunch of roses
Her eyes were like the starlit'sky
Her hair was dark and it was curly
I'll miss her till the day I die
I miss my darling she is sleeping
Underneath the beautiful sky
I miss her now since she has left me
I will miss her til the day I die
