Verse:

I met you in a gar -den in an old Ken -tuck -y town,

The sun was shin -ing down, You wore a ging -ham gown;

I kissed you as I placed a yel -low tul -ip in your hair,

Up -on my coat you pinned a rose so rare.

Time has not changed your lov -li -ness, You're just as sweet to me,

I love you yet, I can't for -get the days that used to be.

 

Chorus:

When You Wore A Tul -ip, A sweet yel -low tul -ip,

And I wore a big red rose,

When you ca -ressed me, 'twas then Heav -en blessed me,

What a bles -sing, no one knows.

You made life cheer -ie, when you called me dear -ie,

'Twas down where the blue grass grows,

Your lips were sweet -er than jul -ep, When You Wore That Tul -ip

And I wore a big red rose.
