The Carter Family - Wildwood flower

^CI'll twine mid the ringlets of my ^G7raven black ^Chair ^CThe lilies so pale and the ^G7roses so ^Cfair ^CThe myrtle so bright with an ^Femerald ^Chew ^CAnd the pale aronatus with ^G7eyes of bright ^Cblue

^CI'll sing and I # 17 ll dance^G7 my laugh shall^C be gay ^CI cease this wild weeping d^G7rive sorrow a^Cway ^CTho my heart is now breaking he n^Fever shall k^Cnow ^CThat his name made me tremble and my ^G7pale cheek ^Cglow

^CI # 17 ll think of him n^G7ever I # 17 ll ^Cbe wildly gay ^CI # 17 ll charm ev # 17 ry hear^G7t and the cro^Cwd I will sway ^CI # 17 ll live yet to see him re^Fgret the ^Cdark hour ^CWhen he won then neglected the fr^G7ail wildwood fl^Cower

^CHe told me he loved me and ^G7promised to ^Clove ^CThrough ill and misfortune ^G7all others ^Cabove ^CAnother has won him ah m^Fisery to t^Cell ^CHe left me in silence no ^G7word of fare^Cwell

^CHe taught me to love him he c^G7alled me his f^Clow'r ^CThat blossomed for him all the brighter e^G7ach hour h^Cour ^CBut I woke from my dreaming my i^Fdol was c^Clay ^CMy visions of love have ^G7all faded ^Caway
