A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy’s Grave
Written by Earl Layton Sykes, sung by Dr. Ralph Stanley

  A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy’s Grave
Springtime is coming in the mountains
However on the hill where Daddy lay
All the song birds were singing
And a robin built a nest on Daddy’s grave

I planted Dad a rose sometime ago
Oh the rose how it did grow
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on Daddy’s grave

Oh the rose bloomed so red
And spread its beauty for that day
Then a robin came one day
And there she built a nest on Daddy’s grave   I planted Dad a rose sometime ago
Oh the rose how it did grow
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on Daddy’s grave

Oh the rose how it bloomed
I believe the Lord is coming soon
That’s what the rose it seem to say
And a robin built a nest on Daddy’s grave
I planted Dad a rose sometime ago
Oh the rose how it did grow
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on Daddy’s grave   And a robin built a nest on Daddy’s grave   Happy Father's Day
