I lay on my back with the sun in my eyes;Soon I will know what no living man knowsAll of my life's been a fight against liesDeath brings the truth, and it’s my turn to knowSend my mother a lock of my hairSend my father the watch that he gave meTell my brother to follow me if he dareTell them I'm lost now and no-one can save meRemember, rememberSend my love little yellow rosesMy father taught me that all men were equalWhatever colour, religion or land;Taught me to fight for the things I believed inThis I have done with a gun in my handSend my mother a lock of my hairSend my father the watch that he gave meTell my brother to follow me if he dareTell them I'm lost now and no-one can save meRemember, rememberSend my love little yellow rosesI met my love in a garden of rosesShe pricked her finger, how sharp the thorn growsWe made a promise that ‘til death did part usWe’d never look on that wild yellow roseSend my mother a lock of my hairSend my father the watch that he gave meTell my brother to follow me if he dareTell them I'm lost now and no-one can save meRemember, rememberSend my love little yellow roses
