I lay on my back with the sun in my eyes Soon I shall know what no living man knows All of my life's been a fight against lies Death brings the truth, now it's my turn to know Send my mother a lock of my hair Send my father the watch that he gave me Tell my brother to follow me if he dare Tell them I'm lost now, and no-one can save me Remember, remember, send my love little yellow roses My father taught me that all men are equal Whatever colour, religion or land Told me to fight for the things I believed in This I have done, with a gun in my hand Send my mother a lock of my hair Send my father the watch that he gave me Tell my brother to follow me if he dare Tell them I'm lost now, and no-one can save me Remember, remember, send my love little yellow roses I met my love in a garden of roses She pricked her finger - how sharp the thorn grows We made a promise that till Death did part us We'd never look on that wild yellow rose Send my mother a lock of my hair Send my father the watch that he gave me Tell my brother to follow me if he dare Tell them I'm lost now, and no-one can save me Remember, remember, send my love little yellow roses
