| [00:00] |
When I was in my prime |
| [00:05] |
I flourished like a vine |
| [00:10] |
There came along a false young man |
| [00:17] |
That stole the heart of mine |
| [00:24] |
That stole the heart of mine |
| [00:29] |
The gardener standing by |
| [00:35] |
Three offers he made to me |
| [00:40] |
The pink, the violet and red rose |
| [00:46] |
Which I refused all three |
| [00:53] |
Which I refused all three |
| [01:00] |
The pink's no flower at all |
| [01:05] |
For it fades away too soon |
| [01:10] |
And the violet is too pale a hue |
| [01:16] |
I think I'll wait 'til June |
| [01:25] |
I think I'll wait 'til June |
| [01:31] |
In June the red rose blooms |
| [01:36] |
That's not the flower for me( |
| [01:42] |
For then I'll pluck the red rose off |
| [01:48] |
And plant a willow tree |
| [01:55] |
And plant a willow tree |
| [02:01] |
And the willow tree shall weep |
| [02:07] |
And the willow tree shall whine |
| [02:13] |
I wish I was in the young man's arms |
| [02:19] |
That stole the heart of mine |
| [02:24] |
That stole the heart of mine |
| [02:30] |
If I'm spared for one year more |
| [02:36] |
And God should grant me grace |
| [02:42] |
I'll weep a bowl of crystal tears |
| [02:49] |
To wash his deceitful face |
| [02:56] |
To wash his deceitful face |
