Chorus
When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip
And I wore a big red rose
When you caressed me, ’twas then heaven blessed me
What a blessing, no one knows
You made life cheerie, when you called me dearie
‘Twas down where the blue grass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julep, when you wore that tulip
And I wore a big red rose
