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
