[A]
Many years have passed, I'm sorry to say, since I've been to visit [E] my [A] daddy's grave.
When the telephone rang, I heard sisters say,
Greenbriars are growing on our daddy's grave.
I went to the place where my daddy lay,
And saw the greenbriars [E] growing up through [A] the clay.
So it took me a spade, and it took me a hoe,
To turn away the greenbriar when [E] daddy [A] unrolled.
In life, dad's a briar, and mom's are the roe,
But in death, they're different.
[E] [A]
Sometimes at midnight, when the cold wind blows,
I think of the graveyard and [E] my [A] daddy's roe.
I went to the place where my daddy lay,
And saw the greenbriars [E] growing up through the [A] clay.
So it took me a spade, and it took me a hoe,
To turn away the greenbriar [E] when daddy [A] unrolled.
[E] [A]
And casted shadows on [E] my [A] daddy's tomb.
So listen, good people, to these words I say,
And keep the greenbriars [E] off of your [A] daddy's grave.
I went to the place where my daddy lay,
And saw the greenbriars [Em] growing up [A] through the clay.
So it took me a spade, and it took me a hoe,
To turn away the greenbriar when [E] daddy unrolled.

[F#] [B]
Springtime is a-coming in the mountain,
A river on the hill where [F#] daddy lay.
[B]
All the songbirds were singing,
And a robin [F#] built a nest on [B] daddy's grave.
[E] I played dad's roe some [B] time ago,
Oh, the roe's how [F#] it did grow.
[Bm] [B]
Springtime has come, I'm glad to say,
And a robin [F#] built a nest on [B] daddy's grave.
[F#] [B]
Oh, the rose bloomed so red,
And spread its beauty [F#] o'er that bed.
[B]
Then a robin came one day,
And there she [F#] built a nest on [B] daddy's grave.
[E] I played dad's roe [B] some time ago,
Oh, the roe's how it did [F#] grow.
[B] Springtime has come, I'm glad to say,
And a robin built a nest on daddy's grave.
[F#] [B]
[F#m] [B]
Oh, the roe's how it bloomed,
I believe the Lord is coming [F#] [B] soon.
That's what the roe did seem to say,
And a robin [F#] built a nest on [B] daddy's grave.
[E] I played dad's roe [B] some time ago,
Oh, the roe's how it [F#] did grow.
[B]
Springtime has come, I'm glad to say,
And a robin [F#] built a nest [B] on daddy's grave.
And a robin built a nest on daddy's grave.
