Lyrics and Chords
[1] Springtime is a-coming in the mountain By a river on a hill where daddy [5] lay [1] All the song birds were singing And a robin built a [5] nest on daddy's [1] grave
I [4] planted dad a rose some time [1] ago Oh the rose how it did [5] grow [1] Springtime has come I'm glad to say And a robin built a [5] nest on daddy's [1] 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
