I met my darlin in the springtime
C G
When all the flowers were in bloom
C F
And like the flowers our love blossomed
C G C
We married in the month of June
F
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
C
We had sunshine in December
G C C F C G C
And threw our roses in the snow
C F
Now God had taken my darlin
C G
And left me with a memory
C F
A memory I will always cherish
C G C
Are these last words he said to me
F
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
C
We had sunshine in December
G C
And threw our roses in the snow
C F
My darlin's buried on the hillside
C G
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
C F
And when winter snows start falling
C G C
On his grave I'll place a rose
F
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us like a golden glow
C
We had sunshine in December
G C F C G C
And threw our roses in the snow
