Here's a version found at the Lester H. Levy Sheet Music Collection:

I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN THE ROSES BLOOM AGAIN
(Will D. Cobb & Gus Edwards, 1901)

They are roaming in the gloaming where the roses are in bloom,
Just a soldier and his sweetheart staunch and true,
But her heart is filled with sorrow, and her thoughts are of the morrow,
As she pins a rose upon his coat of blue.

"Do not ask me, love, to linger, for you know not what to say.
When my duty calls, my sweetheart's voice is vain,
But your heart need not be sighing; if I'm not among the dying,
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again.

CHO: "When the roses bloom again beside the river,
And the robin redbreast sings his sweet refrain,
As in days of Auld Lang Syne, I'll be with you, sweetheart mine.
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again."

Mid the rattle of a battle comes a whisper soft and low,
For a soldier boy has fallen in the fray:
"I am dying, Captain, dying, and I know that I must go,
But I want your promise ere I pass away.

"There's a far and distant river where the roses bloom so fair.
There's a maiden who is waiting all in vain.
It is there I'll have you take me. I've been faithful. Don't forsake me.
I must be there when the roses bloom again. CHO.
