Lyrics:Jack Mahoney Music:Percy Wenrich Artist:Judy Garland/Gene Kelly You wore a tulip, A sweet, yellow tulip, And I wore a big red rose. When you caressed me, 'Twas then Heaven blessed me, Such a blessing no one knows. You made life cheery When you called me dearie, 'Twas down where the blue grass grows. Oh, it was sweeter than julep When you wore a tulip, And I wore a big red rose.
