When The Roses Bloom Again歌词

作词 : Woody Guthrie/Jeff Tweedy
作曲 : Jeff Tweedy

They were strolling in the gloaming

Where the roses were in bloom

A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true

And their hearts were filled with sorrow

For their thoughts were of tomorrow

As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue

Do not ask me love to linger

For you know not what to say

For duty calls your sweetheart's name again

And your heart need not be sighing

If I be among the dying

I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

When the roses bloom again beside the river

And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain

In the days of auld lang syne

I'll be with you sweetheart mine

I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

With the rattle of the battle

Came a whisper soft and low

A soldier who had fallen in the fray

I am dying I am dying

And I know I have to go

But I want to tell you before I pass away

There's a far and distant river

Where the roses are in bloom

A sweetheart who is waiting there for me

And it's there I pray you take me

I've been faithful don't forsake me

I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
