G
Wonderful things of folks are said
D7 G
When they have passed away
Roses adorn the narrow bed
D7 G
Over the sleeping clay
C G
Give me the roses while I live
D7
Trying to cheer me on
G
Useless are flowers that you give
D7 G
After the soul is gone
verse 2
D7 G
Roses they cannot speak
Let us not wait till souls have fled
D7 G
Generous friends to be
Chorus
D7 G
Cold in a narrow bed
Let us forgive them ere they die
D7 G
Now should the words be said
Chorus
