Lay My Head Beneath the Rose - The Carter Family
Written by：Ned Straight
Darling clasp me to your blossom
As you did in days of your
Lay your hand upon my forehead
'Ere I reach the golden shore
Life is from me fastly falling
Soon I'll be in sweet repose
When I'm gone I ask this favor
Lay my head beneath the rose
Darling first you said you love me
When you gave me hand and heart
There were roses on your cheeks love
As we vowed we ne'er would part
One more kiss for I am going
Far beyond all earthly woes
May your life be like your cheeks love
Covered with the blossomed rose
He has crossed the shadowed valley
Where the living waters flow
Love has answered all his pleading
And he sleeps in sweet repose
'Neath a grassy mound he's resting
Where the golden sunset glows
Love has answered all his pleading
And he sleeps in sweet repose
