Lyrics
Before spring turned into summer After night turned into day They were born a Monday morning In the days just after May In the days just after May By the branch at San Jacinto Play for me a happy tune Know of all the days I loved I loved best the 12th of June I loved best the 12th of June He was strong across his shoulders She was delicate of skin And their mother lay there ashen As we held them to our breasts As we held them to our breasts By the branch at San Jacinto Play for me a happy tune Know of all the days I loved I loved best the 12th of June I loved best the 12th of June All I have I gladly give them All I am they will exceed And one thing I know for sure If they improve the likes of me They make a better man of me So to my father and my mother And to our fathers long before There are those who walk above us Who'll remember that we were They will remember that we were And to these beautiful two children And to my sweet and tender wife I will love you three forever Though I fly beyond this life Though I fly beyond this life By the branch at San Jacinto Play for me a happy tune Know of all the days I loved I loved best the 12th of June By the branch at San Jacinto When they lay me in my tomb Know of all the days I loved There are so many days I've loved Know of all the days I loved I loved best the 12th of June I loved best the 12th of June
