G
Springtime is coming in the mountains

                                D7
However on the hill where daddy lay

G
All the song birds are singing 

                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave


  C                           G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago

                       D7
Oh the rose how it did grow

G
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say 

                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave



Oh the rose bloomed so red 

                               D7
And spread its beauty for that day

G
Then a robin came one day 

                      D7              G
And there she built a nest on daddy’s grave


  C                           G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago

                       D7
Oh the rose how it did grow

G
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say 

                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave



Oh the rose how it bloomed 

                             D7
I believe the Lord is coming soon

G
That’s what the rose it seem to say 

                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave


  C                           G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago

                       D7
Oh the rose how it did grow

G
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say 

                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave


                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
