How she could sing The Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long.
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
And all he has left of her is a song.
He first saw her
standing by a cabin door.
Her song was ringing
Out in a voice so strong and sure.
To the lonesome valley,
He'd bring her there to be his bride
Where they would live and work
Together, side by side.
She was his sunshine
She was his moon and morning star.
His words would ring true
On the chords of her guitar.
He was driven
And lost to her for days and days
Till the lonesome valley
Finally drove her far away.
How she could sing The Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long.
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
Now all he has left of her is a song.
[Instrumental break]
We all cling to
(As the years keep rolling on)
One single promise
(Of a love that's passed and gone)
In that lonesome valley
We all walk it by ourselves
Where the wildwood flower
is a story we will tell.
How she could sing The Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long.
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
Now all he has left of her is a song.
[Instrumental break]
How she could sing The Wildwood Flower.
All we have left of her is a song.
[Thanks to Barry for lyrics]
