Oh I’ll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
G7
C
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
F
C
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
G7
C
The pale amanita and eyes look like blue
G7

Oh I’ll dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
G7

I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming my idol was clay
G7
C
All portion of love had all flown away
G7
C
Oh she taught me to love her and promised to love
G7
C
And to cherish me over all others above
F
C
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
G7
C
She’s left me no warning no words of farewell
G7
C
Oh she taught me to love her and called me her flower
G7
C
That was blooming to cheer her through life’s dreary hour
F
C
Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour
G7
C
She’s gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower
