(A.P. Carter)
Johnny Cash: G In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low G From a soldier who'd been wounded in the fray G "I am dying, Captin, dying and I pray before I go D7 G You will give your promise ere I pass away" The Carter Family: C Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say G C When duty calls me to a foreign plain G I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm numbered 'mong the dying 7 I'll be with you when the roses bloom again Johnny Cash: C G Yes when the roses bloom again beside the River G And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain The Carter Family: C As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine D7 G I'll be with you when the roses bloom again The Carter Family: Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say When duty calls me to a foreign plain I hope your heart will not be crying if I numbered 'mong the dying I'll be with you when the roses bloom again Johnny Cash: When the roses bloom again beside the River And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain Johnny Cash & The Carter Family: As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
