G
Springtime is coming in the mountains
D7
However on the hill where daddy lay
G
All the song birds are singing
D7 G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
C G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
D7
Oh the rose how it did grow
G
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
D7 G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
Oh the rose bloomed so red
D7
And spread its beauty for that day
G
Then a robin came one day
D7 G
And there she built a nest on daddy’s grave
C G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
D7
Oh the rose how it did grow
G
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
D7 G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
Oh the rose how it bloomed
D7
I believe the Lord is coming soon
G
That’s what the rose it seem to say
D7 G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
C G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
D7
Oh the rose how it did grow
G
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
D7 G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
D7 G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
