Lyrics:
Wildwood Flower (traditional) As recorded by The Carter Family Written by A. P. Carter Key of E [Maybelle puts a capo on the 4th fret And plays as if in the key of C using The following chords]: [C] Oh, I'll twine mid the ringlets Of my [G] raven black [C] hair The roses so red And the [G] lilies so [C] fair; And the myrtle so [C7] bright With the [F] emerald [C] hue The pale arenitis And [G7] islips so [C] blue. Instrumental Oh I'll dance, and I'll sing And my laugh shall be gay. I will charm every heart, And the crowd I will sway. When I woke from my dreaming, My idols was clay My visions of love had all faded away. Instrumental Oh he taught me to love him And promised to love And to cherish me over All others above. How my heart is now wond'ring No misery can tell. He's left me no warning, No words of farewell. Instrumental Oh, he taught me to love him And called me his flower That was blooming to cheer him Through life's dreary hour. Oh, I long to see him And regret the dark hour He's gone and neglected This pale wildwood flower.
