LYRICS:
Springtime is coming in the mountains
However on the hill where daddy lay
All the song birds are singing
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
I planted dad a rose sometime ago
Oh the rose how it did grow
Springtime is coming I’m glad to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
Oh the rose bloomed so red
And spread its beauty for that day
Then a robin came one day
And there she built a nest on daddy’s grave
Oh the rose how it bloomed
I believe the Lord is coming soon
That’s what the rose it seem to say
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave
And a robin built a nest on daddy’s grave

John (mandolin)is so unassuming, but put anything in his hands with a set of strings and he can bring the house down. I remember while working in the school system when as a student John would often bring an instrument to school, and even then he was brilliant. For John Rigsby to not have been a successful musician would've been a crime against humanity. Hes also a great guy.

My dad loves Ralph Stanley and he still does to this day, back when I was 3? i believe, dad was pushing me on the swing and he would play a robin built a nest on daddy's grave, wildwood flower, and one drop of water. Ahh the good old toddler days I'm 10 now. But I still love Ralph Stanley and rest in peace Ralph. Praise the Lord.

My daddy loved listening to Ralph Stanley. He passed away in 2002 & there was a robin that made a nest on his headstone 2 years in a row. So profound.

On my side of the pond the robin has always been associated with death. in Irish lore if one comes into your house its a sign of a death to come. In English poetry its said to cover your eyes with moss and leaves if you die alone in the woods with noone to tend to your burial . "Covering with moss the dead’s unclosed eye, The little redbreast teacheth charitie." And "The redbreast oft at evening’s hours Shall kindly lend his little aid, With hoary moss and gathered flowers, To deck the ground where thou art laid. " and "No burial this pretty pair From any man receives, Till robin redbreast, piously, Did cover them with leaves. "

Long time Ralph Stanley fan, but this version of this song epitomizes "the Stanley sound". Precise banjo and madolin, great harmony, and that regular bluegrass beat.
