- Verse:
- 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
lovliness, You're just as sweet to me,
- I love you yet, I can't
forget the days that used to be.
-
- Chorus:
- When You Wore A Tulip, A
sweet yellow tulip,
- And I wore a big red rose,
- When you caressed me, 'twas
then Heaven blessed me,
- What a blessing, no one
knows.
- You made life cheerie, 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 red rose.
