Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Wildwood Flower lyrics

I will twine with my mingles and waving black hair And the roses so red and the lilies so fair And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew And the pale and the leader and eyes shine like blue I will dance I will sing and my heart shall be gay And I will charm every heart in his crown I will sway.. I will dance I will sing and my heart shall be gay And I'll charm every heart in his crown I will sway When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay All portions of love had been all blown away Well he taught me to leave him and called me his flower That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour How my heart now is pining misery can tell He left me no warning no words of farewell Yes, he taught me to love him and promised to love And to cherish me over all others above I'm longing to see him and regret the dark hour He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower
