Springtime is coming in the mountain

by river on a hill where daddy lay

all the song birds were singing

and a robin build a nest on daddy's grave

I planted dad a rose some time ago

and oh that Rose how it did grow

Springtime has come I'm glad to say

and a robin build a nest on daddy's grave

oh that rose it bloomed so red

and spread its beauty or that bed

then a robin came one day

and there she build a nest on daddy's grave

I planted dad a rose sometime ago

and oh that Rose how it did grow

spring time has come I'm glad to say

and a robin build a nest on daddys grave

oh the rose how it did bloom

I believe the Lord is coming soon

that's what the rose it seemed to say

and a robin build a nest on daddy's grave

I planted dad a rose sometime ago

and oh the rose how it did grow

spring time has come I'm glad to say

and a robin build a nest on daddy's grave
