I won't bother you with the whole story, it's out there if you want to find it, but here it is in brief. Laura Cantrell had the words but no tune, so she made up her own, making it quite another song altogether ~~ good though!

Her record label, Diesel Only offers a Free MP3 Download of When The Roses Bloom Again. Lots of other good stuff on the page. I especially recommend Courtney & Western. (Love that name, too!) Unfortunately, the group is no more, but you'll find Courtney herself at Courtney Lee Adams, Jr. including more free songs.
