I planted a rose on the footpath

1. I planted a rose on the footpath, ; I loved you, God knows, ; I would deny my father, my mother, ; Yet I would leave my baby orphaned. ; ; 2. I always regret what I did, ; That I fell in love with you, ; //: I didn't just fall in love with you, ; I'm sorry, but I can't help it. :// ; ; 3. My sweet mother's red apple tree, ; I was its most beautiful branch, ; //: Yet a rascal tore me down, ; He made me fall in her arms. :// ; ;
