Текст песни My Flowers Grow Green

My flowers grow green
So pretty to see
My true love has promised to come back to me
He promised to stay
For a lifetime through
And change my sad flowers to the red white and blue

He held me and kist me
And swore he'd be mine
When he came back last trip from the deep salty brine
It was on that sweet morning
That I told him I cared
And a bouquet of new hope he tied in my hair

My roses of summer,
My violets for spring
Forgetmenots bloomed round my cheeks like a ring
Buttercups and daisies
Peeping so shy
Nobody can love you as dearly as I

My pinks and my phlox,
And my four o'clocks all
Love vines are climbing my high garden wall
My flowers brought you
From across that sad sea
You'll never kiss another one pretty as me

My flowers brought you
From across that sad sea
You'll never kiss another, prettier than me
