Wild Red Roses
Oh the wild red roses, the wild red roses
The wild red roses, the wild red roses
I remember how it was , oh the wild red roses
On a day just like this, the wild red roses
Down by the water in the middle of town with nobody else around
Me and my baby found where the wild red roses grow
Did he love me - oh - yes he did, the wild red roses
Did he stay? Well he said he would, the wild red roses
I played the game the girls all know ‘he loves me yes, he loves me no’
He loved me down to my very soul where the wild red roses grow
Then one day he took my hand, the wild red roses
He said I’m leaven' and I ain’t coming back, the wild red roses
Say it isn’t so, oh, baby, please don’t go
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me all alone where the wild red roses grow
But I was young long ago and love was just a game
I didn’t know a lover’s heart could break
Everything has changed since them, nothing stays the same
Except for the roses, the roses in the spring
Oh the wild red roses, the wild red roses
The wild red roses, the wild red roses
I’m walking on down the road, the wild red roses
Feeling sad and a little bit old, the wild red roses
If you were with me now, oh baby, I’d ask you how does true love always seem to know
Where the wild red roses grow
And a young heart just wants them all and in the picking kills the flower
But the wise heart, the wise heart just leaves them alone
They let the wild red roses grow
Oh the wild red roses, the wild red roses,
The wild red roses, the wild red roses
