Wildwood Flower
C G7 C
I'll twine mid the ringlets of my raven black hair
C G7 C
The lilies so pale and the roses so fair
C F C
The myrtle so bright with an emerald hew
C G7 C
And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue
C G7 C
I'll sing and I # 17 ll dance my laugh shall be gay
C G7 C
I cease this wild weeping drive sorrow away
C F C
Tho my heart is now breaking he never shall know
C G7 C
That his name made me tremble and my pale cheek glow
C G7 C
I # 17 ll think of him never I # 17 ll be wildly gay
C G7 C
I # 17 ll charm ev # 17 ry heart and the crowd I will sway
C F C
I # 17 ll live yet to see him regret the dark hour
C G7 C
When he won then neglected the frail wildwood flower
C G7 C
He told me he loved me and promised to love
C G7 C
Through ill and misfortune all others above
C F C
Another has won him ah misery to tell
C G7 C
He left me in silence no word of farewell
C G7 C
He taught me to love him he called me his flow'r
C G7 C
That blossomed for him all the brighter each hour hour
C F C
But I woke from my dreaming my idol was clay
C G7 C
My visions of love have all faded away
