Emma Rose (2006 Remastered LP Version) - Kate Wolf[00:00:00]

Emma Rose was ten years old her father passed away[00:00:09]

She cried to think he'd never see her on her wedding day[00:00:16]

And then her mother sickened and left her on her own[00:00:25]

Saying Emma Rose it grieves me to leave you so alone[00:00:32]

How long how long will it be 'til you're returning[00:00:42]

How long how long must I keep the candles burning[00:00:49]

When Emma Rose was sixteen years[00:00:59]

She was courted and wed[00:01:02]

By Danny Jay the neighbor boy a fine young man they said[00:01:06]

And in the flowering of their love Emma had a son[00:01:16]

Danny left one morning before the rising of the sun[00:01:23]

How long how long will it be 'til you're returning[00:01:33]

How long how long must I keep the candles burning[00:01:40]

Years went by and Emma Rose grew bitter in her grief[00:01:50]

All the men who came and went none gave her any peace[00:01:58]

Even age could not erase the beauty in her face[00:02:07]

But Emma Rose had eyes for one who left without a trace[00:02:14]

Tell me how long how long will it be 'til you're returning[00:02:23]

How long how long must I keep the candles burning[00:02:32]

Emma lives alone now the child is grown and gone[00:02:42]

Some say they see her now and then on the days she[00:02:49]

Comes to town[00:02:54]

If you're traveling North there's a mailbox on the road[00:02:59]

And all it says is Emma Rose in letters faint and old[00:03:06]

How long how long will it be 'til you're returning[00:03:16]

How long how long must I keep the candles burning[00:03:24]
