"When the Roses Bloom Again" - The Carter Family (with Johnny Cash) Track 12 of 12 on the album "Keep on the Sunny Side" (1964) [Intro] D7 G [Verse]
       G
In the rattle of the battle came a whisper, soft and low

                                           D7
From a soldier who had been wounded in the fray

      G               G7          C
"I am dying, Captain, dying and I pray before I go

         D7                             G
You will give your promise, ere I pass away"
[Chorus]
       C                              G
Do not ask me, dear, to linger, for I know not what to say

                                          D7
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain

            G                 G7             C
I hope your heart will not be crying, if I'm not among the dying

        D7                             G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[Chorus 2]
              C                            G
Yes, when the roses bloom again beside the river

                                          D7
And the robin redbreast sings its sweet refrain

      G                               C
As in days of Auld Lang Syne, I'll be with you, sweetheart mine

        D7                             G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[Interlude] D7 G [Chorus]
       C                              G
Do not ask me, dear, to linger, for I know not what to say

                                          D7
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain

            G                 G7             C
I hope your heart will not be crying, if I'm not among the dying

        D7                             G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[Chorus 2]
         C                            G
When the roses bloom again beside the river

                                          D7
And the robin redbreast sings its sweet refrain

      G                               C
As in days of Auld Lang Syne, I'll be with you, sweetheart mine

        D7                             G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
