Wildwood Flower / Emmylou Harris & Iris Dement
I will twine and will mingle my raving black hair with the roses so red
And the lilies so fair. And the myrtle so bright with its emerald hue,
the pale and the leader and lips were so good.
For he taught me to love him and promised to love.
A blossom's to cheer him through life's weary hour
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell.
He left me nor warning, nor words of farewell.
I will dance, I will sing and my life shall be gay.
I will charm every heart in this crowd I will sway
Though my heart is now breaking, he never shall know
How his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow.
Oh, he told me to love me and called me his flower
And cherished me over all others above
Oh, how I long to see him and regret the dark hour.
He's gone and neglected his frail wildwood flower.
I will twine and will mingle my raving black hair with the roses so red
And the lilies so fair. And the myrtle so bright with its emerald hue,
the pale and the leader and lips were so good.
For he taught me to love him and promised to love.
A blossom's to cheer him through life's weary hour
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell.
He left me nor warning, nor words of farewell.
I will dance, I will sing and my life shall be gay.
I will charm every heart in this crowd I will sway
Though my heart is now breaking, he never shall know
How his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow.
Oh, he told me to love me and called me his flower
And cherished me over all others above
Oh, how I long to see him and regret the dark hour.
He's gone and neglected his frail wildwood flower.
..... Oh .....
