Eighteen Yellow Roses
by Marty Robbins written by Bobby Darin
C G7 Dm G7
Eighteen yellow roses came today
C G7 C C7
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
F
When the boy came to the door
C
I didn't know what to say
G7 C G7
But eighteen yellow roses came today
C G7 C G7
I opened up the card to see what it said
C G7 C C7
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
F C
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
G7 C
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
D7 C
I never doubted your love for a minute
D7 C
I always thought that you would be true
D7 C
But now this box and the flowers in it
D7 F G7
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
C G7 C G7
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
C G7 C C7
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
F C
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
G7 C
But a father's love will never fade away
