"Wildwood Flower" 

C                                 G7          C
I'll twine mid the ringlets of my raven black hair 
C                          G7       C
The lilies so pale and the roses so fair 
C                            F       C
The myrtle so bright with an emerald hew 
C                          G7             C
And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue. 

C                            G7             C
I'll sing and I’ll dance, my laugh shall be gay 
C                          G7           C
I cease this wild weeping, drive sorrow away
C                                F           C
Tho my heart is now breaking, he never shall know 
C                                    G7         C
That his name made me tremble and my pale cheek glow

C                       G7             C
I’ll think of him never I’ll be wildly gay
C                              G7           C
I’ll charm ev’ry heart and the crowd I will sway 
C                               F        C
I’ll live yet to see him regret the dark hour
C                                G7             C
When he won, then neglected, the frail wildwood flower

C                          G7          C
He told me he loved me and promised to love
C                          G7         C
Through ill and misfortune all others above 
C                       F         C
Another has won him, ah misery to tell
C                        G7          C
He left me in silence no word of farewell

C                            G7            C
He taught me to love him, he called me his flow'r 
C                                        G7        C
That blossomed for him, all the brighter each hour hour 
C                               F        C
But I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay 
C                       G7        C
My visions of love have all faded away
