When You Wore a Tulip, and I Wore a Big Red Rose

When You Wore a Tulip, and I Wore a Big Red Rose - The Hoosier Hot Shots

I met you in a garden in an old kentucky town

The sun was shining down

You wore a gingham gown

I kissed you as I placed a yellow tulip in your hair

Upon my coat you pinned a rose so rare

Time has not changed your loveliness

You're just as sweet to me

I love you yet I can't forget the days that used to be

When you wore a tulip a sweet yellow tulip

And I wore a big red rose

When you caressed me was then heaven blessed me

What a blessing no one knows

You made life cheery when you called me dearie

Was down where the blue grass grows

Your lips were sweeter then julep when you wore that tulip

And I wore a big red rose
