Standard (EADGBE)

I met my darlin in the springtime

When all the flowers were in bloom

And like the flowers our love blossomed

We married in the month of June

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw our roses in the snow

Now God had taken my darlin

And left me with a memory

A memory I will always cherish

Are these last words he said to me

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw our roses in the snow

Solo

My darlin'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

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us like a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw our roses in the snow
