PRETTY LITTLE WHITE ROSE Sung by: Neal Morris Recorded in Timbo, AR 7/18/59 Click here to listen to the original recording Oh, it was on an old stone, We'd sit there side by side, The beautiful stream beneath our feet. We would whisper words of love, While the sweet birds sang above-- Those words, they were tender, low and sweet. How oft do I think of one happy time, When we were alone among the flowers. On a bright sunny day In the early part of May, We watched the golden sun as it set. (Chorus) Oh, she sang me a song Of a pretty white rose-- It was sweet, but oh, it was so sad-- Of a cruel-hearted girl, Whose heart was hard as stone. Oh, yes, she had flirted with a lad. (Chorus) Well, she gave me a rose, A pretty white rose, And asked me to wear it for her. I yet have the rose, And I never shall forget To wear it as long as she is true. (Chorus) |
