I'm waitin' for de springtime / When de tulips grow --
Sweet, sweet springtime / When de tulips grow;
Cause if I'd die in de winter / They'd bury me under snow.
Un'neath de snow, Lawd, / Oh, what would I do?
Un'neath de snow, / I say what would I do?
It's bad enough to die but / I don't want freezin' too.
I'm waitin' for de springtime / An' de roses red, / Waitin' for de springtime / When de roses red / 'Ll make a nice coverin'
Fer a gal that's dead.
