A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy’s Grave Recorded by Ralph Stanley Written by Earl Sykes
G Springtime is coming in the mountains D7 However on the hill where daddy lay G All the song birds are singing D7 G And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
C G I planted dad a rose sometime ago D7 Oh the rose how it did grow G Springtime is coming I’m glad to say D7 G And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
Oh the rose bloomed so red D7 And spread its beauty for that day G Then a robin came one day D7 G And there she built a nest on daddy’s grave
repeat #2
Oh the rose how it bloomed D7 I believe the Lord is coming soon G That’s what the rose it seem to say D7 G And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
