Little darling we have parted

From each other we must go

Many a mile must separate us

In this world of sin and woe

But that savior gave the promise

That you'd meet me in the land

Where you said we'd be together

When the roses bloom again

Down among the budded roses

Though my heart is sad with pain

I have parted from my darling

Never more to meet again

Will this parting be forever

Will there be no dawning day

When our hearts will be united

All our worries pass away

Now this parting is of sorrow

Yes it almost breaks my heart

Tell me darling that you love me

When we're many miles apart

I will see you up in Heaven

This is my true and earnest prayer

If you love me here on earth dear

I am sure you'll love me there

Down among the budded roses

Though my heart is sad with pain

I have parted from my darling

Never more to meet again
