Down Among the Budded Roses [core]
Little sweetheart we have parted
From each other we must go
Many miles may separate us
In this world of care and woe
But I can't forget the promise
That you made me in the lane
When you said we'd be together
When the roses bloom again
Chorus
Down among the budded roses
I am nothing but a stem
I have parted from my darling
Never more to meet again
Will this parting be forever
Or will there be a coming day
When our hearts will be united
And all sorrows pass away
Darling, meet me up in heaven
That's my true and earnest prayer
If you love me here on earth dear
Then I know you'll love me there
Now this parting gives me sorrow
And it almost breaks my heart
Tell me darling will you love me
When we meet, no more to part
There our hearts will be united
Free from every pain and care
In the land of life eternal
In that city bright and fair
