Wildwood Flower Songtext
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.

I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart and each crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming, my idols were clay

All portions of love 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 is now wondering no misery can tell

He's left me no warning, no words of farewell.



Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour

how I long to see him and regret the dark hour

He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower.
