'Neath the shadow, down the meadow, leaves lying on each side,
E B7 E
by the river, flowers shiver, fading, dying in their pride.

Someone straying, long delaying, stands a-parting down the lane,
E B7 E
I must leave you, someone's saying, till the roses come again.
E A E
When the roses come again, when the roses come again,
E B7 E
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again.
E B7 E
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.

As I wander, I will ponder on a happy bye and bye,
E B7 E
on a summer over yonder with joy to you and I.
E A E
Do not borrow grief or sorrow in the hours that yet remain,
E B7 E
we shall know a glad tomorrow when the roses come again.
E A E
When the roses come again, when the roses come again,
E B7 E
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again.
E B7 E
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.

Sunshine over clover blossom on the meadow wide,
E B7 E
summer's fingers sweetly linger everywhere on every side.
E A E
Someone's roaming in the gloaming, happy hearts that feel no pain,
E B7 E
all their sadness turned to gladness, now the roses come again.
E A E
When the roses come again, when the roses come again,
E B7 E
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again.
E B7 E
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.
