| [00:09] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [00:16] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:21] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [00:27] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:33] |
From the first day I saw I knew she was the one |
| [00:37] |
As she stared in my eyes and smiled |
| [00:42] |
For her lips were the colour of the roses |
| [00:47] |
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild |
| [00:51] |
When he knocked on my door and entered the room |
| [00:56] |
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace |
| [01:01] |
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand |
| [01:06] |
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face |
| [01:12] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [01:19] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:24] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [01:31] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:36] |
On the second day I brought her a flower |
| [01:40] |
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen |
| [01:45] |
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow |
| [01:50] |
So sweet and scarlet and free?" |
| [01:55] |
On the second day he came with a single red rose |
| [01:59] |
Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?" |
| [02:04] |
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed |
| [02:08] |
He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?" |
| [02:16] |
He call me The Wild Rose |
| [02:22] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:27] |
Why He call me it I do not know |
| [02:34] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:39] |
On the third day he took me to the river |
| [02:43] |
He showed me the roses and we kissed |
| [02:48] |
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word |
| [02:53] |
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist |
| [02:57] |
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow |
| [03:02] |
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief |
| [03:06] |
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die" |
| [03:11] |
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth |
| [03:18] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [03:25] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:30] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [03:36] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:00.009] |
|
| [99:00.000] |
