C                      F
I met my darlin in the springtime
     C                        G
When all the flowers were in bloom
     C                        F
And like the flowers our love blossomed
   C       G               C
We married in the month of June
     F
Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow
C
We had sunshine in December
     G                     C     C  F   C  G   C
And threw our roses in the snow
C                     F
Now God  had taken my darlin
    C              G
And left me with a memory
C                      F
A memory I will always cherish
C              G                C
Are these last words he said to me
    F
Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as a golden glow
C
We had sunshine in December
     G                     C
And threw our roses in the snow


SOLO

C                         F
My darlin's buried on the hillside
C                                 G
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
    C                       F
And when winter snows start falling
C      G                  C
On his grave I'll place a rose
     F
Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us like a golden glow
C
We had sunshine in December
     G                      C   F  C   G     C
And threw our roses in the snow
