when you wore a tulip (and i wore a big red rose) - jerry lee lewis lyrics

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,
such a blessing no one knows.
you made life cheery
when you called me dearie,
’twas down where the blue gr-ss grows.
oh, it was sweeter than julep
when you wore a tulip,
and i wore a big red rose.
