Emmylou Harris:Roses in the Snow

(Ruth Franks)

I met my darlin' the springtime
When all the flowers were in bloom
And like the flowers our love blossomed
We married in the month of June.

Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow.

Now God has taken my darlin'
And left me with a memory
A mem'ry I will always cherish
Are these last words he said to me.

Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow.

--- Instrumental ---

My darlin's buried on the hillside
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
And when the winter snows start falling
On his grave, I'll place a rose.

Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow...
