These are Ernie Sheldon's original lyrics:

Bring Me A Rose

Bring me a rose in the wintertime
When it's hard to find
Bring me a rose in the wintertime
I got roses on my mind
Well a rose is sweet, most any time and yet
Bring me a rose in the wintertime
How easy we forget

Bring me a smile when I'm far from home
When it's hard to find
Bring me a smile when I'm far from home
I got smilin' on my mind
Well a smile is sweet, most any time and yet
Bring me a smile when I'm far from home
How easy we forget

Bring me a kiss when my baby's grown
When it's hard to find
Bring me a kiss when my baby's grown
I got kisses on my mind
Well a kiss is sweet, most any time and yet
Bring me a kiss when my baby's grown
How easy we forget

Bring me a love in the autumn years
When it's hard to find
Bring me a love in the autumn years
Love is on my mind
Well love is sweet, most any time and yet
Bring me a love in the autumn years
How easy we forget

Bring me peace when there's talk of war
When it's hard to find
Bring me peace when there's talk of war
Peace is on my mind
Well peace is sweet, most any time and yet
Bring me peace when there's talk of war
How easy we forget
How easy we forget


He recorded this himself when he was with The Limeliters (he replaced Glenn Yarbrough).
