  			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
