Written and recorded by Hank Williams (SR)

While [C] strolling thru a lovely [G7] garden

As day was drawing to a [C] close...[G7]

My [C] eyes be-[C7]-held a tragic [F] story

I [G7] saw a teardrop on a [C] rose.

It should have been a tear of gladness

But deep inside the sorrow shows

A trusting heart had just been broken

I saw a teardrop on a rose.

A sobbing tear that follows parting

Holds all the pain that sorrow knows

A false goodbye a life is shattered

There lies a story on a rose.

The tear will dry the rose will wither

When spring and winter comes and goes

I loved, I lost, my story ended
