| [00:10.120] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [00:16.550] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:21.680] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [00:28.550] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:34.180] |
From the first day I saw I knew she was the one |
| [00:37.930] |
As she stared in my eyes and smiled |
| [00:42.740] |
For her lips were the colour of the roses |
| [00:47.800] |
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild |
| [00:52.800] |
When he knocked on my door and entered the room |
| [00:57.490] |
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace |
| [01:02.050] |
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand |
| [01:06.990] |
He wiped at the tears that ran down my faces |
| [01:14.300] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [01:21.430] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:26.180] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [01:33.310] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:38.430] |
On the second day I brought her a flower |
| [01:42.680] |
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen |
| [01:47.870] |
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow |
| [01:52.810] |
so sweet and scarlet and free?" |
| [01:57.370] |
On the second day he came with a single red rose |
| [02:02.180] |
He said, "Give me your lost and your sorrow." |
| [02:06.810] |
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed |
| [02:11.680] |
"If I show you the roses will you follow?" |
| [02:18.990] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [02:26.370] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:30.090] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [02:36.680] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:41.840] |
On the third day he took me to the river |
| [02:45.590] |
He showed me the roses and we kissed |
| [02:48.710] |
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word |
| [02:53.590] |
As he knocked above me with a rock in his fist |
| [02:58.400] |
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow |
| [03:03.090] |
And she lay on the bank, whe wind light as a thief |
| [03:07.780] |
As I kissed her goodbye, said I "All beauty must die" |
| [03:12.530] |
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth |
| [03:20.030] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [03:26.380] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:30.690] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [03:38.190] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:43.250] |
My name was Elisa Day |
| [03:47.940] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
