Sweet was a rose
In the light of the rising sun
Never forget her
Gave her life for everyone
Sweet was a rose
In the light of the rising sun
Never forget her
Gave her life for everyone
On that days I recall
It was a bright and sunny dawn
And we hadn't seen a yankee
Since a week before the summer storm
So momma said to sister rose
I guess it's safe to take a horse
Get out and try to find
Your pop and brother ben
Though I protested she said
Wash your mouth
Your much too young
She rode out and I never
Saw our sister rose again
Sweet was a rose
In the light of the rising sun
Never forget her
Gave her life for everyone
Well as I here tell that fateful morn'
She rode to shannon creek
To making 'quiries at the bar and brother ben
And from there she rode to the valley
From a far she saw pao
And I saw the arm was brother ben but he was dead
And pao he was a tryin' to warn her
But too late the blue counted to corner
Rose was shoutin'
Get out pao get out while you can
But rose she was never seen again
Back at the house foul him
Kind of a head stone
Rat took upon my self to cold this words in
Sweet was a rose
In the light of the rising sun
Never forget her
Gave her life for everyone
Sweet was a rose
In the light of the rising sun
Never forget her
Gave her life for everyone
Sweet was a rose
In the light of the rising sun
Never forget her
Gave her life for everyone
