This is from an album entitled 'Stride Piano Oldies' which includes songs which every senior citizen over the age of 75 in the USA and Canada will know and probably be able to supply all the words. These songs are from a different era - a time before computers and even before tv's, when people would ofter have get-togethers of one kind or another - picnics sometimes - and sing for entertainment. Good voices and not-so-good voices all joined happily together for fun. People often harmonized with these songs. A bygone time. You may listen to it - acoustic piano only - or use it as an accompaniment for a sing-along in a retirement center or nursing home or just in your own home with people who like to sing together. Words: When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip And I wore a big red rose. When you caressed me, ‘twas then heaven blessed meWhat a blessing, no one knows. You made life cheery when you called me ‘dearie’,‘twas down where the blue grass grows.Your lips were sweeter than julep, When you wore a tulip, and I wore a big red rose.
