Little Yellow Roses
Laid on my back with the sun in my eyes.
Soon I shall know what no living man knows.
All of my life's been a fight against lies,
Death brings the truth, and it's my turn to go.
Send my mother a lock of my hair.
Send my father the watch that he gave me.
Tell my brother to follow me if he dare.
Tell them I'm lost now and no one can save me.
Remember, remember
Send my love little yellow roses.
My father taught me that all men were equal,
Whatever colour, religion or land,
Taught me to fight for the things I believe in,
That's what I did - with a gun in my hand.
Send my mother a lock of my hair.
Send my father the watch that he gave me.
Tell my brother to follow me if he dare.
Tell them I'm lost now and no man can save me.
Remember, remember
Send my love little yellow roses.
I met my love in a garden of roses.
She pricked her finger so sharp the thorn grows.
We made a promise that till death should part us
We'd never look on a wild yellow rose.
Send my mother a lock of my hair.
Send my father the watch that he gave me.
Tell my brother to follow me if he dare.
Tell them I'm lost now and no man can save me.
Remember, remember
Send my love little yellow roses.
