[00:05.46]
[00:08.56]They were strolling in the gloaming
[00:11.57]
[00:12.56]Where the roses were in bloom
[00:15.57]
[00:17.00]A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true
[00:22.05]
[00:25.40]And their hearts were filled with sorrow
[00:28.52]
[00:29.54]For their thoughts were of tomorrow
[00:32.48]
[00:33.69]As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
[00:39.00]
[00:41.84]Do not ask me  love  to linger
[00:45.36]
[00:46.38]For you know not what to say
[00:49.47]
[00:50.68]For duty calls your sweetheart's name again
[00:56.04]
[00:59.35]And your heart need not be sighing
[01:02.33]
[01:03.43]If I be among the dying
[01:06.64]
[01:07.29]I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[01:13.19]
[01:16.31]When the roses bloom again beside the river
[01:23.37]
[01:24.58]And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
[01:29.68]
[01:33.05]In the days of auld lang syne
[01:36.13]
[01:36.86]I'll be with you sweetheart mine
[01:40.16]
[01:41.14]I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[01:46.73]
[02:23.61]With the rattle of the battle
[02:26.80]
[02:28.03]Came a whisper soft and low
[02:31.19]
[02:32.40]A soldier who had fallen in the fray
[02:37.28]
[02:40.68]I am dying  I am dying
[02:43.80]
[02:44.87]And I know I have to go
[02:47.89]
[02:49.22]But I want to tell you before I pass away
[02:54.27]
[02:57.20]There's a far and distant river
[03:00.58]
[03:01.71]Where the roses are in bloom
[03:04.70]
[03:06.14]A sweetheart who is waiting there for me
[03:11.05]
[03:14.38]And it's there I pray you take me
[03:17.63]
[03:18.44]I've been faithful  don't forsake me
[03:21.92]
[03:22.87]I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
