Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
1. Sweet violets are blooming
Blooming for you and me
With fragrant breath perfuming
Dearest, ever they speak of thee
Chorus
Only a bunch of Violets
I send with my love to you
Just a sweet bunch of Violets
To whisper that I’ll be true
Only a dream of happiness
A paradise just for two
Dearest, I wonder if you guess
How much I’m in love with you
2. Promise you’ll not forget me
When I am far away
Sometimes you may regret me
If you hear what the violets say
Sung here by Fred Feild:
