I (G) met my darling in the (C) springtime
When (G) all the flowers were in (D)bloom
and (G) like the flowers our love (C) blossomed
We (G) married (D) in the month of (G) June
Our (C) love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We (G) had sunshine in December
And (D) threw our roses in the (G) 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
