| [00:09.78] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [00:16.23] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:21.11] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [00:28.12] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:32.08] |
|
| [00:32.90] |
From the first day I saw I knew she was the one |
| [00:37.59] |
As she stared in my eyes and smiled |
| [00:42.11] |
For her lips were the colour of the roses |
| [00:46.79] |
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild |
| [00:52.24] |
|
| [00:52.83] |
When he knocked on my door and entered the room |
| [00:57.89] |
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace |
| [01:02.48] |
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand |
| [01:07.39] |
He wiped at the tears that ran down my faces |
| [01:12.92] |
|
| [01:14.57] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [01:21.77] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:26.43] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [01:33.57] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:37.93] |
|
| [01:38.61] |
On the second day I brought her a flower |
| [01:42.91] |
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen |
| [01:47.91] |
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow |
| [01:52.86] |
so sweet and scarlet and free?" |
| [01:57.42] |
|
| [01:57.70] |
On the second day he came with a single red rose |
| [02:02.26] |
He said, "Give me your lost and your sorrow." |
| [02:06.88] |
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed |
| [02:11.74] |
"If I show you the roses will you follow?" |
| [02:17.16] |
|
| [02:19.30] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [02:26.53] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:31.17] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [02:38.25] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:42.35] |
|
| [02:44.17] |
On the third day he took me to the river |
| [02:47.97] |
He showed me the roses and we kissed |
| [02:52.39] |
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word |
| [02:57.72] |
As he knocked above me with a rock in his fist |
| [03:02.44] |
|
| [03:02.69] |
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow |
| [03:07.60] |
And she lay on the bank, whe wind light as a thief |
| [03:10.68] |
As I kissed her goodbye, said I "All beauty must die" |
| [03:16.60] |
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth |
| [03:23.34] |
|
| [03:24.03] |
He call me the Wild Rose |
| [03:31.02] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:35.73] |
Why he call me that I do not know |
| [03:43.08] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:47.59] |
|
| [03:48.38] |
My name was Elisa Day |
| [03:52.87] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:57.40] |
