Joan Baez - Wildwood Flower Lyrics
Wildwood flower (traditional)I will twine with my mingles of raven black hairWith the roses so red and the lilies so fairThe meadow so bright with it's emerald hueAnd the pale and the leader and eyes look so blueI will dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gayI will charm every heart, in his crown I will swayI woke from my dream and all idols was clayAnd all portions of love then had all flown awayHe told me to love him and promised to loveAnd cherish me over all others aboveMy poor heart is wondering no misery can tellHe left me no warning, no words of farewellHe told me to love him and called me his flowerThat was blooming to cheer him through life's weary hourHow I long to see him and regret the dark hourHe's gone and neglected his frail wildwood flower.
