Bride's Bouquet lyrics

Song information

Artist: Porter Wagoner
Album: The Thin Man From West Plains

Lyrics

My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet
I went to a wedding one bright summer day
The bride was a beauty the people were gay
Alone in a corner I stood till the end
For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend
The service was over and beside the church door
I picked up the rose that fell on the floor
I bathed it with teardrops then threw it away
My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet
It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet
Once filled with love's perfume now faded away
Like the love that I gave her she threw it away
My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet
[ steel ]
It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet
