Chords
"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’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’ll think of him never I’ll be wildly gay
C G7 C
I’ll charm ev’ry heart and the crowd I will sway
C F C
I’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
