Wildwood Flower
The Carter Family
AI will twine and will mingle my E7raven black Ahair
AWith the roses so red and the E7lilies so Afair
AAnd the myrtle so green of an Demerald Ahue
AAnd the pale emanita and E7islip so Ablue
AOh he promised to love me, he E7promised to Alove
AAnd cherish me always all otheE7rs Aabove
AI woke from my dream and my Didol was Aclay
AMy passion for loving had E7vanished Aaway
AOh he taught me to love him, he E7called me his Aflower
AA blossom to cheer him through E7life's weary Ahour
ABut now he has gone and Dleft me Aalone
AThe wild flowers to weep and the E7wild birds to Amoan
AI'll dance and I'll sing and my E7life will be Agay
AI'll banish this weeping, drive E7troubles Aaway
AI'll live yet to see him Dregret this dark Ahour
AWhen he won and neglected this E7frail wildwood Aflower.
