RED GROW THE ROSES
(Country Washburne / Del Porter)

Spike Jones & his City Slickers (vocal: Mixed Quartet) - 1944


Red grow the roses,
I love their sweet perfume
My thoughts are all of you sweetheart
When roses are in bloom
Red grow the roses,
Recalling memories sweet
Of days when I laid garlands
Made of roses at your feet.
We found romance
`Neath the blossoms in May
And I kissed your lips
Through a rose bud bouquet
Red grow the roses,
They tell of love so true
I'll always bring you roses
For the roses brought me you
The roses brought me you.
