You're a flower blooming in the wildwood
On an evening long ago when the sun was sinking low My true lover went to sall upon the sea It was in the month of june when the roses were in bloom When he took me in his arms said to me You're a flower that is blooming in the wildwood Flower that is blooming there for me Sweeter than the morning dew when I'll soon return to you You're a flower that is blooming there for me Than a letter came to me from a captain on the sea That told me my darling was dead On the shock and great surprise made the teardrops in my eyes When I thought about the last words that he said * Refrain Now he can't return to me he got drowned in the sea And has done passed over lifes weary way When it's in the month of june and the roses are in bloom It seems that I can hear my lover say * Refrain
