Well, I was cleaning up my bookshelf the other day and I came across an old
sheet music that belonged to my dad
This is Dinah Shore sweet violets.
I believe that was
1951 that was a hit and
I remember singing this song around the campfire
So I'm gonna give it a shot now.
I don't know the words so I may have to be reading it, but
Let's see how this goes now if I can find a place to put the music
There [G] once was a farmer who [D] took a young miss in the back of the barn where he [G] gave her a
lecture on horses chickens [D] and eggs
Told her that she had such [G] beautiful manners
It suited a girl [D] of her charms a girl that he wanted
[Gm] Taking his washing and ironing and then [D] if she did they could get married and [G] raise lots of [C] sweet
[D] [G] Violets sweeter than [D] all the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
covered [G] all over with [C] sweet
[G] Violets
Well the girl told the farmer that he'd [D] better stop and she called her father
And he [G] called a taxi and but there before [D] very long
But someone was doing his [G] little girl right for a change
So that's [D] why he said if you marry her son, you're better [G] off single
It's always been [D] my belief
Marriage will bring a man [G] nothing but [C] sweet
[G] Violets sweeter than [D] all the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
covered all [G] over with [C] sweet [G] Violets
the farmer decided he'd wed [D] anyway and
Started in planning his [G] wedding so which he had purchased for [D] only one buck
But then he found out he was just [G] out of money and so he got left [D] in the lurch
Standing and waiting in front [G] of the end of the story which just [D] goes to show
All the girl wants from a man [G] is sweet
[C] [G] Violets sweeter than [D] all the roses
covered all over from head to toe
covered all [G] over with [C] sweet
[G] Violets [C] [N]
