^GSpringtime is coming in the mountains However on the hill where daddy ^D7lay

^GAll the song birds are singing And a robin built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave

I ^Cplanted dad a rose sometime ^Gago Oh the rose how it did ^D7grow

^GSpringtime is coming I’m glad to say And a robin built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave

Oh the rose bloomed so red

And spread its beauty for that ^D7day ^GThen a robin came one day

And there she built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave

I ^Cplanted dad a rose sometime ^Gago Oh the rose how it did ^D7grow

^GSpringtime is coming I’m glad to say And a robin built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave

Oh the rose how it bloomed

I believe the Lord is coming ^D7soon ^GThat’s what the rose it seem to say

And a robin built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave

I ^Cplanted dad a rose sometime ^Gago Oh the rose how it did ^D7grow

^GSpringtime is coming I’m glad to say And a robin built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave

And a robin built a ^D7nest on daddy’s ^Ggrave
