A Robin Built a Nest on Daddy's Grave

1
Springtime is a-coming in the mountain
5
By a river on a hill where daddy lay
1
All the song birds were singing
5 1
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
 

4 1
I planted dad a rose some time ago
5
Oh the rose how it did grow
1
Springtime has come I’m glad to say
5 1
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
 

Oh the rose it bloomed so red
And spread its beauty o’er that bed
Then a robin came one day
And there she built a nest on daddy’s grave

Oh the rose how it bloom
I believe the Lord is coming soon
That’s what the rose it seemed to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
