Wildwood Flower Lyrics - Ghost Town - Bill Frisell

Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair 

With the roses so red and the lilies so fair 

And the myrtles so bright with emerald dew 

The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue. 

Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay 

I will charm ev'ry heart, in his crown I will sway 

When I woke from my dreaming, idols were clay 

All portions of love then had all flown away. 

Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love 

And to cherish me over all others above 

How my heart now is wond'ring misery can tell 

He's left me no warning, no words of farewell.

Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flow'r 

That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour 

Oh, I'm longing to see him through life's dark hour 

He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower.
