The Violet And A Rose

(álbum: Wanda Jackson Sings Country Songs - 1965)

(Send me some violets, I'm blue as can be)

A violet fell in love with a rose
And started it blushing from its head to its toes
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
A new love was born and the violet turned blue

Roses are red, violets are blue
I'm sending red, red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be

I wanted my love to bouquet with you
But just like the rose, you've proven untrue
A flower that's wild, they say has no home
And just like the violet, I'm left all alone

Roses are red, violets are blue
I'm sending red, red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be
