Wildwood Flower (Originaltext)

1^st Verse

I'll C twine F 'mid the C ringlets of my G7 raven black C hair

The C li- F lies so C pale and the G7 roses so C fair,

The C myrtle so bright with an F emerald C hue,

And the C pale aronatus with G7 eyes of bright C blue

2^nd Verse

I'll C sing F and I'll C dance, my G7 laugh shall be C gay

I'll C cease F this wild C weeping drive G7 sorrow a- C way

Tho' my C heart is now breaking, he F never shall C know

That his C name made me tremble and my G7 pale cheeks to C glow

3^rd Verse

I'll C think F of him C never I'll F7 be wildly C gay

I'll C charm F ev'ry C heart, and the G7 crowd I will C sway

I'll C live yet to see him, re- F gret the dark C hour

When he C won, then neglected, the G7 frail wildwood C flower

4^th Verse

He C told F me he C loved me, and G7 promis'd to C love

Trough C ill F and mis- C fortune, all G7 others a- C bove

An- C other has won him, ah, F misery to C tell

He C left me in silence, no G7 word of fare- C well

5^th Verse

He C taught F me to C love him, he G7 call'd me his C flower

That C blos- F som'd for C him all the G7 brighter each C hour

But I C woke from my dreaming, my F idol was C clay

My C visions of love have all G7 faded a- C way
