When You Wore a Tulip Lyrics

I met you in a garden in an old Kentucky town
The sun was shining down
Yoou 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
I wore a big red rose
When you caressed me, 'twas then heaven blessed me
What a blessing, no one knows
You made life cheery when you called me dearie
'Twas down where the blue grass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julep when you wore that tulip
And I wore a big rose
When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip
And I wore a big rose
When you caressed me, 'twas then Heaven blessed me
What a blessing, no one knows
You made life cheery when you called me dearie
'Twas down where the blue grass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julip when you wore that tulip
And I wrote a big red rose
