WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP (AND I WORE A BIG RED ROSE)
WRITER JACK MAHONEY
When you wore a tulip, A sweet yellow tulip, And I wore a big red rose, When you caressed me, 'twas then Heaven blessed me, What a blessing, no one knows, You made life cheery, When you called me dearie, 'Twas down where the blue grass grows, Your lips were sweeter than julep, When you wore that tulip, And I wore a big red rose.
