I met my darlin in the springtime

When all the flowers were in bloom

And like the flowers our love blossomed

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow

We had sunshine in December

And threw our roses in the snow

              GG Piano Chord 

And left me with a memory

My darlin's buried on the hillside

Where all the wild spring flowers grow

And when winter snows start falling

On his grave I'll place a rose

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us like a golden glow

We had sunshine in December
