Will The Roses Bloom

Flatt And Scruggs · Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs

Will the roses bloom where she lies sleeping

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
