Good Bye, Rose
Composer(s): Herbet Ingraham; Addison Burkhart



Once a bird loved a rose
Chirp'd despondently 
"Oh! My love
From above
Your fading blush I see
But I cannot linger here
Winter's blasts are near 
Lovely flower, from your bower
I must fly I fear
Oh, Dear!

With the Springtime's sunny garb
Came the love sick bird
To the tree anxiously
But still no welcome heard
For the rose sighed in vain 
Cried till winter's snows 
Half in pity 
Froze the pretty
Broken hearted rose he chose

Good bye Rose, the Autumn leaves are falling
Winter blows her trumpets from the sky 
When the snows shall melt at Springtime's calling
We will meet again
Some day so good bye Rose
