Single Winter Rose - Moccasin Creek, Brenn Hill, Demun Jones

Well the trail up Girtsen Canyon is covered in with snow

I always dreamed that such a day would come my time to go

With all our children gathered proud for the life I freely chose

And on an old pine box you’d place a single winter rose

For sixty years we did our best to make a house a home

A woman’s life as a cowboy’s wife is too much time alone

But down the trail I rode each night you waited here for me

Now sittin' here without you near ain’t how it’s supposed to be

And would you be a cowboy’s wife again

The hard times and lonely days and nights that never end

‘Cause Eileen I still love you as the Good Lord only knows

It’s time to say goodbye now with this single winter rose

The kids are gathered round me now their children and our friends

We’re singin' songs and memories I hope it never ends

There’s still so much we have to say about you and your love

Lookin' back I can’t help feel I never said enough

We’ll put up your old saddle now your spurs hang on the wall

The picture of our wedding day that I love most of all

Little things I should’ve done Lord how the time it goes

I honor and I love you with this single winter rose

Repeat Chorus
