Johnny Cash Lyrics
Wildwood Flower Lyrics
Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
The pale amanita and eyes look like blue
Oh I'll dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming my idol was clay
All portion of love had all flown away
Oh she taught me to love her and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
She's left me no warning no words of farewell
Oh she taught me to love her and called me her flower
That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour
Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour
She's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower
