Wildwood Flower Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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 the emerald dew 

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 were clay 

All portion of love 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 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 wild wood flower
