A E
A violet fell in love with a rose
A
And started it blushing from its head to its toe
A7 D
Then one day the rose was kiss- ed by the dew
A E A
A new love was born and the violet turned blue.
CHORUS
A D
Roses are red, violets are blue
E A
I'm sending red, red roses to you
A7 D
If you care to send some flowers to me
A E A
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.
