[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]
