¶Lyrics / Text

’Twas down in the meadows, The violets were blowing, And the springtime grass was fresh and green; And the birds by the brooklet Their sweet songs were singing, When I first met my darling Daisy Deane. ''None knew thee but to love thee,'' ''Thou dear one of my heart,'' ''O, thy memory is ever fresh and green;'' ''Though the sweet buds may wither,'' ''And fond hearts be broken,'' ''Still I'll love thee, my darling Daisy Deane.'' Her eyes soft and tender, The violets out-vying, And a fairer form was never seen; With her brown silken tresses, Her cheek like the roses, There was none like my darling Daisy Deane. The bright flowers are faded, The young grass has fallen, And a dark cloud hovers o’er the scene; For the death angel took her, And left me in sorrow, For my lost one, my darling Daisy Deane. O, down in the meadows I still love to wander, Where the young grass grew so fresh and green; But the bright golden visions Of springtime have faded With the flowers, and my darling Daisy Deane.
