Lyrics A Robin Built a Nest On Daddy's Grave - Ralph Stanley

Springtime is coming in the mountain

By river on a hill where daddy lay

All the song birds were singing
And a robin build a nest on daddy's grave
I planted dad a rose some time ago
And oh that Rose how it did grow

Springtime has come I'm glad to say
And a robin build a nest on daddy's grave

Oh that rose it bloomed so red
And spread its beauty or that bed

Then a robin came one day
And there she build a nest on daddy's grave
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
And oh that Rose how it did grow
Spring time has come I'm glad to say
And a robin build a nest on daddys grave
Oh the rose how it did bloom
I believe the Lord is coming soon
That's what the rose it seemed to say
And a robin build a nest on daddy's grave
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
And oh the rose how it did grow
Spring time has come I'm glad to say
And a robin build a nest on daddy's grave
