Bunch of Violets Blue - John Kerr

It was out in a moonlit garden not far from the ballroom grand

A soldier and his sweetheart went strolling hand in hand

Tomorrow the war would call him he vowed he would be true

Then from her breast she gave to him a bunch of violets blue

They were only a bunch of violets a bunch of violets blue

Fresh and fair and fragrant like diamonds on the dew

Fresh and fair and dainty as he pressed them to his heart

He smiled and said where e'er he'd roam from them he ne'er would part

A soldier boy lay dying upon the cold cold ground

A bunch of withered violets upon his breast was found

Turning to his comrades with a feeble voice he cried

Take them back and tell her that I wore them till I died

They took the withered violets back it being on her wedding day

An old man's gold had won her from her soldier far away

An old man's gold had won her from her soldier young and tall

And this is what she said to him that evening at the ball

They were only a bunch of violets a bunch of violets blue

Fresh and fair and fragrant like diamonds on the dew

Fresh and fair and dainty as he pressed them to his heart

He smiled and said where e'er he'd roam from them he ne'er would part
