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.
