As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1972 Album WHAT AM I GONNA DO?) [Chorus]
C          F
 Roses are red my love

        C        Am
Violets are blue

         F
Sugar is sweet my love

G7                  C
But not as sweet as you
[Verse 1]
             G
A long, long time ago

On graduation day

You handed me your book

G7            C
I signed this way
[Chorus]

Roses are red my love

But not as sweet as you

We dated all through school

And when the big day came

        F
I wrote into your book

G7         C
Next to my name
[Chorus]

Roses are red my love

But not as sweet as you
[Bridge]

Then I went far away

    C
And you found someone new

I read your letter dear

And I wrote back to you
[Chorus]

Roses are red my love

Good luck may God bless you

Is that your little girl

         C
She looks a lot like you

         F
Some day some boy will write

G7          C
In her book too
[Chorus]

Roses are red my love

Sugar is sweet my love

But not as sweet as you
