about

This is a classic American folk song.

lyrics

I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald green
And the pale and the leader and eyes look like blue

Oh she promised to love me and promised to love
And cherish me over all others above
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay
My passion for loving had vanished away

Oh she taught me to love her, she called me her flower
A blossom to cheer her through life's weary hour
But now she has gone and left me alone
The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to moan

I'll dance and I'll sing and my life will be gay
I'll banish this weeping, drive troubles away
I'll live yet to see her regret this dark hour
When she won and neglected this frail wildwood flower.
