Wildwood Flower Lyrics

WILDWOOD FLOWER

Writer A.P. Carter



Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair With the roses so red and
the lilies so fair And the myrtles so bright with emerald dew The pale and the
leader and eyes look like blue. Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall
be gay I will charm ev'ry heart, in his crown I will sway When I woke from my
dreaming, idols were clay All portions of love then had all flown away. Oh, he
taught me to love him and promised to love And to cherish me over all others
above How my heart now is wond'ring misery can tell He's left me no warning, no
words of farewell. Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flow'r That
was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour Oh, I'm longing to see him
through life's dark hour He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower.
