verse 1 

     C 
When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip 
    F                C 
And I wore a big red rose 
F 
When you caressed me, 
     C 
Twas then heaven blessed me 
       D7               G7 
What a blessing, no one knows 


verse 2 

C 
You made life cheery, when you called me deary 
     F                         G7 
Twas down where the blue grass grows 

               E7 
Your lips were sweeter than julep 
     C 
When you wore a tulip 
    F        G7      C 
And I wore a big red rose
