Wildwood Flower
The Carter Family
BI will twine and will mingle my F7raven black Bhair
BWith the roses so red and the F7lilies so Bfair
BAnd the myrtle so green of an Ebemerald Bhue
BAnd the pale emanita and F7islip so Bblue
BOh he promised to love me, he F7promised to Blove
BAnd cherish me always all otheF7rs Babove
BI woke from my dream and my Ebidol was Bclay
BMy passion for loving had F7vanished Baway
BOh he taught me to love him, he F7called me his Bflower
BA blossom to cheer him through F7life's weary Bhour
BBut now he has gone and Ebleft me Balone
BThe wild flowers to weep and the F7wild birds to Bmoan
BI'll dance and I'll sing and my F7life will be Bgay
BI'll banish this weeping, drive F7troubles Baway
BI'll live yet to see him Ebregret this dark Bhour
BWhen he won and neglected this F7frail wildwood Bflower.
