Will the roses bloom where she lies sleepin'
Will the flowers shed their petals there
Will the dew drops fall upon the roses
Where my darling sleeps beneath the sand

Here lips were like a bunch of roses
Her eyes shined like the stars last night
And her hair was dark and it was curly
I'll love her still the day I die

* Refrain

How I miss my darling as she's sleeping
Underneath the beautiful sky
I miss her more now since she has left me
I know we've said our last good bye

* Refrain
