Johnny Cash:  
G  
In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low  
G                                   
From a soldier who'd been wounded in the fray  
     G                     
"I am dying, Captin, dying and I pray before I go  
       D7                       G  
You will give your promise ere I pass away"  
  
The Carter Family:  
C                          
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say  
G                          C  
When duty calls me to a foreign plain  
G                               
I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm numbered 'mong the dying  
     7                            
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again  
  
Johnny Cash:  
           C                        G  
Yes when the roses bloom again beside the River  
G                                   
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain  
  
The Carter Family:  
                          C  
As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine  
     D7                         G  
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again  
  
The Carter Family:  
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say  
When duty calls me to a foreign plain  
I hope your heart will not be crying if I numbered 'mong the dying  
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Johnny Cash & The Carter Family:  
As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine
