How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

C F How she could sing the Wildwood Flower C G7 The orphan girl he would love so long C F In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour C G7 C And all he has left of her is a song He first saw her standing by a cabin door G7 C Her song was ringing out in a voice so strong and sure To the lonesome valley he'd bring her there to be his bride G7 C Where they would live and work together side by side She was his sunshine she was his moon and morning star G7 C His words would ring true on the chords of her guitar But he was driven and lost to her for days and days G7 C Till the lonesome valley finally drove her far away Repeat #1 We all cling to as the years keep rolling on G7 C One single promise of a love that's past and gone And that lonesome valley we all walk it by ourselves G7 C Where the Wildwood Flower is a story we will tell Repeat #1 F How she could sing the Wildwood Flower C G7 C All we have left of her is a song
