A 1923 popular song
words and music by Cal De Voll
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- When the golden sun is all aglow
Out in the west
Then I dream of one
The one I know I love the best
She’s not a rose in a bower
She’s just a little wild flower
Chorus
My little Sun-kist rose
No one knows that she grows way out there
Blooming in sweet repose
All alone she’s my own Rose so rare
This little western flower
Waits for me patiently I suppose
Down by the trail where I found her
We’ll meet bye and bye
How I sigh just for my Sun-kist Rose
- Where the west wind blows
I long to be so far away
There a wild flower grows
So dear to me, that’s why I say
Nature has blessed her with charms
I’ll hold her soon in my arms
