G                     C
I met my darling in the springtime 
     G                       D
When all the flowers were in bloom 
    G                         C
and like the flowers our love blossomed 
   G       D               G
We married in the month of June 
    C
Our love was like a burning ember 

It warmed us as a golden glow 
   G
We had sunshine in December 
    D                      G
And threw our roses in the snow  
 
Now God has taken my darling 
And left me with a memory 
A memory I will always cherish 
Are these last words he said to me 
chorus   
 
My darling's buried on the hillside 
Where all the wild spring flowers grow 
And when winter snows start falling  
On his grave I'll place a rose 
chorus
