hank snow - answer to galveston rose lyrics
i’m writing this answer to the galveston rose
the answer to a sad, broken heart
my whole world, it crumbled when i read your last note
saying, that we forever must part.
oh, i realize now you were innocent, dear
when in anger i said we were through
for as all the long years have p-ssed slowly away
i find that i’ll always love you.
there were tears on your cheeks when i bid you goodbye
and you pleaded with me not to go
these last years i have paid for the wrong i have done
to my sweetheart the galveston rose.
now, they say you are resting in a lonely churchyard
where the violets and red roses hide
and i pray when i die my request they will fill
and lay me to rest by your side.
i have longed and i’ve yearned for you many a time
and wished i could undo the past
and hold you again in my arms tenderly
and live with you, dear, to the last.
now you’ve heard my sad answer to a flower so fair
one i loved more than anyone knows
with god’s help i’ll repay for the sorrow and tears
that i brought to my galveston rose…
