little darling we have parted from each other we must go many a mile may separate us in this world of sin and woe but that savior gave the promise that you d meet me in the land where you said we d be together when the roses bloom again down among the budded roses though my heart is sad with pain i have parted from my darling never more to meet again will this parting be forever will there be no dawning day when our hearts will be united all our worries pass away now this parting is of sorrow yes it almost breaks my heart tell me darling that you love me when we re many miles apart i will see you up in heaven this is my true and earnest prayer if you love me here on earth dear i am sure you ll love me there down among the budded roses though my heart is sad with pain i have parted from my darling never more to meet again
