My Blue River Rose
Written and recorded by Hank Snow

C
There are flowers that are rich there are flowers that are rare
       F                            C
On the banks where the bright water flows
                        F
But the sweetest of all nature's flowers to bloom
       C           G7         C
Was my darling the Blue River Rose

    G7                        C
Her eyes were the petals that glisten so bright
                              G7
Her smile was the sunshine so fair
        C                     F
And the heart of my beautiful Rose was as true
       C              G7            C
As her tears like the dew sprinkled there


In the bright month of June neath that old southern moon
       F                     C
At the altar each promise we quote
                                 F
But old fate played its part and soon broke the heart
      C          G7         C
Of my darling my Blue River Rose

    G7                   C
Her father objected said think of our pride
                              G7
We would never outlive such a crime
          C                 F
There are plenty of men who are wealthy and then
         C         G7            C
Would be up in the world such as I


So they sent her away to some far distant land
    F                            C
A vacation they told her 'twould be
                                    F
When the leaves start to fall it is then we will call
    C       G7              C
And you may return o'er the sea

  G7                          C
A year had passed on then the postman one morn
                              G7
Brought a letter to me and it read
    C                         F
The rose that once bloomed in your garden of love
    C                 G7         C
Has all withered your darling is dead


Now I'm left all alone this old world I must roam
         F                      C
How I'll face every care heaven knows
                                    F
But each night by light stream I'll still meet her in dreams
   C          G7         C
My darling my Blue River Rose
