How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower (Emmylou Harris/ Kate & Anna McGarrigle) / Arr.: Ko-Do 2008)

how she could sing the wildwood flower the orphan girl he would love so long in the end he knew she'd been his finest hour and all he has left of her is a song he first saw her standing by a cabin door her song was ringing out in a voice so strong and sure to the lonesome valley he bring her there to be his bride where they would live and work together side by side she was his sunshine, she was his mournin' morning star his words would ring through on the chords of her guitar he was driven and lost to her for days and days till the lonesome valley finally drove her heart away

how she could sing the wildwood flower the orphan girl he would love so long in the end he knew she'd been his finest hour and all he has left of her is a song we all cling to as the years keep rolling on one single promise of a love that's passed and gone in that lonesome valley, we all walk it by ourselves where the wildwood flower is a story we all tell how she could sing the wildwood flower the orphan girl he would love so long in the end he knew she'd been his finest hour and all he has left of her is a song how she could sing the wildwood flower and all we have left of her is a song
