12th of June

[00:15.70] Before spring turned into summer
[00:19.60] After night turned into day
[00:23.60] They were born a Monday morning
[00:27.51] In the days just after May
[00:31.58] In the days just after May
[00:36.89] By the branch at San Jacinto
[00:44.68] Play for me a happy tune
[00:52.52] Know of all the days I loved
[00:56.00] I loved best the 12th of June
[01:00.39] I loved best the 12th of June
[01:06.39] He was strong across his shoulders
[01:10.65] She was delicate of skin
[01:14.44] And their mother lay there ashen
[01:18.05] As we held them to our breasts
[01:22.27] As we held them to our breasts
[01:27.99] By the branch at San Jacinto
[01:35.58] Play for me a happy tune
[01:43.08] Know of all the days I loved
[01:47.42] I loved best the 12th of June
[01:51.29] I loved best the 12th of June
[02:32.13] All I have I gladly give them
[02:39.95] All I am they will exceed
[02:47.83] And one thing I know for sure
[02:51.98] If they improve the likes of me
[02:55.26] They make a better man of me
[03:01.03] So to my father and my mother
[03:05.19] And to our fathers long before
[03:09.24] There are those who walk above us
[03:13.06] Who'll remember that we were
[03:16.74] They will remember that we were
[03:21.08] And to these beautiful two children
[03:24.66] And to my sweet and tender wife
[03:28.64] I will love you three forever
[03:32.65] Though I fly beyond this life
[03:36.34] Though I fly beyond this life
[03:41.85] By the branch at San Jacinto
[03:49.50] Play for me a happy tune
[03:57.41] Know of all the days I loved
[04:01.46] I loved best the 12th of June
[04:05.33] By the branch at San Jacinto
[04:12.85] When they lay me in my tomb
[04:20.73] Know of all the days I loved
[04:25.07] There are so many days I've loved
[04:29.24] Know of all the days I loved
[04:32.71] I loved best the 12th of June
[04:36.54] I loved best the 12th of June
