Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.
The rose is red, the violet's blue
The sugar is sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love, and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine.
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And fortune said it should be you.
Down in the valley, the valley so low,
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow,
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
Write me a letter containing three lines,
Answer my question, will you be mine?
Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine?
Answer my question, will you be mine?
Roses love sunshine, violets love dew,
Angels in heaven know I love you.
Know I love you, dear, know I love you,
Angels in heaven know I love you
