SICK'NINGLY-SWEET THE GARDENIAS LAY
BLACK GARDENIAS OF ANOTHER DAY...

COV'RING NOW YOUR BRONZED BERTH
WE COMMIT YOU TO GOD'S EARTH

THE ANGELS CRIED AT YOUR DEMISE
I DIED WHEN YOU CLOSED YOUR EYES.

SICK'NINGLY-SWEET THE GARDENIAS LAY
BLACK GARDENIAS OF ANOTHER DAY

GONE AWAY YOU ARE FROM ME
BEREFT IN DEEP MISERY

SPEED THE TIME WHEN I WILL BE
WITH YOU IN DEATH'S REVERIE

SICK'NINGLY-SWEET THE GARDENIAS LAY,
BLACK GARDENIAS OF ANOTHER DAY.
