Little sweetheart we have parted From each other we must go Many miles may separate us In this world of care and woe But I can’t forget the promise That you made me in the lane When you said we’d be together When the roses bloom again 
Chorus Down among the budded roses I am nothing but a stem I have parted from my darling Never more to meet again 
Will this parting be forever Or will there be a coming day When our hearts will be united And all sorrows pass away Darling, meet me up in heaven That’s my true and earnest prayer If you love me here on earth dear Then I know you’ll love me there 
Now this parting gives me sorrow And it almost breaks my heart Tell me darling will you love me When we meet, no more to part There our hearts will be united Free from every pain and care In the land of life eternal In that city bright and fair
