A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy's Grave
Recorded by Ralph Stanley
Written by Earl Sykes

G
Springtime is coming in the mountains
                                D7
However on the hill where daddy lay
G
All the song birds are singing 
                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy's grave

  C                           G
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
                       D7
Oh the rose how it did grow
G
Springtime is coming I'm glad to say 
                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy's grave


Oh the rose bloomed so red 
                               D7
And spread its beauty for that day
G
Then a robin came one day 
                      D7              G
And there she built a nest on daddy's grave

repeat #2


Oh the rose how it bloomed 
                             D7
I believe the Lord is coming soon
G
That's what the rose it seem to say 
                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy's grave

repeat #2

                    D7              G
And a robin built a nest on daddy's grave
