Q&A
When I was In My Prime Lyrics
When I was in my prime I flourished like a vine
There came along a false young man which stole the heart of mine<br>
Which stole the heart of mine.
<br><br>
The gardener standing by, three choices he offered to me<br>
The paint, the violet and red rose, which I refused all three<br>
Which I refused all three.<br><br>
The paint's no flower at all, for it fades away to soon<br>
The violet is too pale a hue, I think I'll wait 'til June
I think I'll wait 'til June.<br><br>
In June the red rose blooms, that's not the flower for me<br>
I think I'll pull the red rose up and plant a willow tree<br>
And plant a willow tree.<br><br>
And the willow tree shall weep, and the willow tree shall whine<br>
I wish I was in the young man's arms that stole the heart of mine<br>
That stole the heart of mine.<br><br>
If I should last for one year more, and God should grant me grace<br>
I'll save enough crystal tears to wash his deceitful face<br>
To wash his deceitful face.
There came along a false young man which stole the heart of mine<br>
Which stole the heart of mine.
<br><br>
The gardener standing by, three choices he offered to me<br>
The paint, the violet and red rose, which I refused all three<br>
Which I refused all three.<br><br>
The violet is too pale a hue, I think I'll wait 'til June
I think I'll wait 'til June.<br><br>
I think I'll pull the red rose up and plant a willow tree<br>
And plant a willow tree.<br><br>
I wish I was in the young man's arms that stole the heart of mine<br>
That stole the heart of mine.<br><br>
I'll save enough crystal tears to wash his deceitful face<br>
To wash his deceitful face.
