When you wore a Tulip

When you wore a tulip,
A sweet yellow tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.

When you caressed me
T'was then Heaven blessed me
What a blessing no one knows.
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie,
T'was down where the blue grass grows.
Your lips were sweeter then julep when you wore a tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.

I met you in a garden in an old Kentucky town,
The sun was shining down,
You wore a gingham gown.
I kissed you as I placed a yellow tulip in your hair,
Upon my coat you pinned a rose so rare.

Time has not changed your loveliness you're just as sweet to me,
I love you yet I can't forget, the days that used to be.

When you wore a tulip,
A sweet, yellow tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.

When you caressed me
T'was then Heaven blessed me
What a blessing no one knows.
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie,
'Twas down where the blue grass grows.
Your lips were sweeter then julep when you wore a tulip,
And I wore a big red
I wore a big red
I wore a big red rose.
