Written and Recorded by Hank Snow
Beneath the moon tonight
I kneel close to my darling`s side,
Her eyes in death forever closed,
My sweet and future bride.
Beside some lonely river bank,
Where the weeping willow grow,
I`ll ease my aching heart tonight,
Down where the dark waters flow.
I planted on her new made grave
A tender rose with care,
To bloom thru` all the lonely years
While she is lying there.
I`ll place one tender kiss of love
Upon that budding rose,
And bid my world of cares goodbye
Down where the dark waters flow.
