Wildwood Flower - Charlie Haden
Oh I'll twine with my mingles
And raven black hair
With the roses so red
And the lilies so fair
And the mirtles so bright
With the emerald hue
The pale and the leader
And eyes look like blue
I will dance I will sing
And my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart
In each crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming
My idols clay
All portion of love had all blown 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 call 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
His pale wildwood flower
