C F 1 4
I met my darlin' in the springtime
C G 1 5
When all the flowers were in bloom
C F 1 4
And like the flowers our love blossomed
C G C 1 5 1
We married in the month of June
[Chorus]
F 4
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
C 1
We had sunshine in December
G C 5 1
And threw 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
[Chorus]
My darlin's buried on the hillside
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
And when winter snows start fallin'
On his grave I'll place a rose
[Chorus]
