A VIOLET AND A ROSE

Recorded by Porter Wagoner and Skeeter Davis

Words and music by Bud Auge, Jimmy Dickens, John Reinfeld & Mel Tillis

[A] A violet fell in love with a [E] rose

And started it blushing from its head to its [A] toe

Then one day the rose was kiss-[A7] ed by the [D] dew

A new love was [A] born and the [E] violet turned [A] blue.

CHORUS

[A] Roses are red, violets are [D] blue

I'm sending [E] red, red roses to [A] you

If you care to send some [A7] flowers to [D] me

Then send me some [A] violets, I'm [E] blue as can [A] 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.
