Lyrics
Lida Rose, I’m home again Rose
To get the sun back in my sky
Lida Rose, I’m home again Rose
About a thousand kisses shy
Ding, dong, ding
I can hear the chapel bell chime
Ding dong, ding
At the least suggestion
I’ll pop the question
Lida Rose, I’m home again Rose
Without a sweetheart to my name
Lida Rose, now ev’ryone knows
That I am hoping you’re the same
So here is my love song
Not fancy or fine, Lida Rose
Oh won’t you be mine
Lida Rose, Oh Lida Rose
Lida Rose, Oh Lida Rose
