Springtime is coming in the mountains
On a river by the hill where daddy lay
Oh, the song birds were singing
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave

I planted dad a rose some time ago
Oh, the rose how it did grow
Springtime’s a come I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave

Oh, the roses bloomed so red
And shed their beauty ‘or the bed
Then a robin came one day
And there she built a nest on daddy’s grave

I planted dad a rose some time ago
Oh, the rose how it did grow
Springtime’s a come I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave

Oh, the roses how they bloomed
I believe the Lord is a coming soon
That’s what the roses seem to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave

I planted dad a rose some time ago
Oh, the rose how it did grow
Springtime’s a come I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave

I planted dad a rose some time ago
Oh, the rose how it did grow
Springtime’s a come I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
