C.w. Mccall - Watch The Wildwood Flowers Lyrics
(ron agnew)Jimmy joe left the mountain bout seven months ago,When the autumn nights turned coolChasin a dream, like they sayJust goin away to schoolAn though he loved amy moren anything else,He felt he just had to go, and make his wayAn amy felt pretty close to dyin when jimmy leftThat september dayYsee, there was somethin she had to tell him,But the words were never foundAn as they stood there by the garden gate,Jimmy picked a wildflower from the groundAs he placed it in amys hand an kissed her,An her fingers touched the dew,He wiped her tears away and told her hed be backNot knowin what she knew[chorus]Watch the wildwood flowers for meAnd Ill watch my dreams for youAnd I promise that Ill write you everydayAnd when the winter snow is goneTouch the flowers as they growAnd when the first one blooms then Ill be on my wayWell, jimmy joe never wrote those lettersAn through the winter, amys hopes grew dimAs she felt the life inside her stirAn she watched the flowers grow, for himLast spring jimmy joe came home, too lateHe found that amyd gone awayAn died givin life to his baby boyAn he recalled what he had said that september day[chorus]Watch the wildwood flowers for meAnd Ill watch my dreams for youAnd when the first one blooms then Ill be on my wayWatch the wildwood flowers for meAnd Ill watch my dreams for youAnd when the first one blooms then Ill be on my wayAnd when the first one blooms then Ill be on my way
