 Subject: A VIOLET AND A ROSE
 A VIOLET AND A ROSE
 Recorded by Porter Wagoner and Skeeter Davis
 Words and music by Bud Auge, Jimmy Dickens, John Reinfeld & Mel Tillis
 [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.
