Red grow the roses
I love their sweet perfume
My thoughts are all of you sweetheart
When roses are in bloom

Red grow the roses
Recalling memories sweet
I gaze when I lay garlands
Made of roses at your feet

We found romance
neath the blossoms in may
And I kissed you lips
Through a rose bud bouquet

Red grow the roses
They tell of love so true
I'll always bring you roses
For the roses brought me you
The roses brought me you
