When ^C all the flowers were in b ^G loom
And l ^C ike the flowers our love ^F blossomed
We ^C married ^G in the month of ^C June
Our l ^F ove was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
^C We had sunshine in December
And t ^G hrew our roses in the ^C snow ^{C F C G C
C} Now God had taken my ^F darlin
And ^C left me with a ^G memory
^C A memory I will always ^F cherish
^C Are these last ^G words he said to ^C me

And t ^G hrew our roses in the ^C snow

^C My darlin's buried on the ^F hillside
^C Where all the wild spring flowers ^G grow
And ^C when winter snows start ^F falling
^C On his ^G grave I'll place a ^C rose

It warmed us like a golden glow
^C We had sunshine in December
And t ^G hrew our roses in the s ^C now ^{F C G C}
