My Flowers Grow Green

[Verse 1]
My flowers grow green, so pretty to see
My true love has promised to come back to me
He promised to stay for a lifetime through
And change my sad flowers to the red white and blue

[Verse 2]
He held me and kissed me and he swore he'd be mine
When he came back last trip from the deep salty brine
It was on that sweet morning that I told him I cared
And a bouquet of new hope he tied in my hair

[Verse 3]
My roses of summer, my violets for spring
Forget-me-nots bloomed round my cheeks like a ring
Buttercups and daisies peeping so shy
Nobody can love you as dearly as I

[Verse 4]
My pinks and my phlox, my four o'clocks all
Love vines are climbing round my high garden wall
My flowers brought you from across that sad sea
And you'll never kiss another who's prettier than me

[Outro]
My flowers brought you from across that sad sea
And you'll never kiss another who's prettier than me
Yeah you'll never kiss another who's prettier than me
