(Shorty Long - Dick Wentzel)

We danced in the night, dear
A night of delight, dear
And I gave a white rose to you
But then in the dawn, dear
The sun found you gone, dear
A white rose may crashed him to do.

His love was a rose cast away
But what was one rose when you had a bouquet
You laughed at my caring
Still I go on wearing a white rose in my heart for you.
