Springtime is coming in the mountain by river on a hill where daddy lay
all the song birds were singing
and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave

I planted dad a rose some time ago
and oh that Rose how it did grow

Springtime has come I’m glad to say
and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave

Oh that rose it bloomed so red
and spread its beauty or that bed

then a robin came one day
and there she build a nest on daddy’s grave,
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
and oh that Rose how it did grow
Spring time has come I’m glad to say and a robin build a nest on daddys grave.

Oh the rose how it did bloom
I believe the Lord is coming soon.
That’s what the rose it seemed to say and a robin build a nest on daddy’s grave.
