When You Wore a Tulip, and I Wore a Big Red Rose Lyrics

When you wore a tulip,
A sweet, yellow tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.
When you caressed me,
′Twas then Heaven blessed me,
Such a blessing no one knows.
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie,
'Twas down where the blue grass grows.
Oh, it was sweeter than julep
When you wore a tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.
