Where The Wild Roses Grow
Ton : ECapo 3English
TheEmy call me the wilAmd rosEme, But my Gname was Eliza BDay
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnow, Em For my namEme was ElizDa DaEmy
From the fEmirst day I saw her I knew sGhe was the one
She stAmared in my eyes and smBiled
Her lEmips were the colour of the roGses
That gAmrew down the river, All bloBody and wild
When he knEmocked on my door, And entGered the room
My treAmmbling subsided in hBis sure embrace
He would Embe my first man, And wGith a careful hand
He wAmiped up the tears, That rBan down my face B
They cEmall me the wild rAmose, Em But my namGe was Eliza DayB
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnow, Em For my namEme was ElizDa DaEmy
On the secEmond day, I brought her a floGwer
She was more beaAmutiful, Than any woBman I'd seen
I sEmaid do you know, Where the wGild roses grow
AmSo sweet and scarlet and frBee
On the seEmcond day he came, With a siGngle red rose
He said, GAmive me your loss and your soBrrow
I noddEmed my head, As I lGay on the bed
If I sAmhow you the roses will you Bfollow B
They cEmall me the wild rAmose, Em But my namGe was Eliza DayB
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnow, Em For my namEme was ElizDa DaEmy
On the tEmhird day he took me to the riGver
He sAmhowed me the roses, And we kiBssed
And the lEmast thing I heard, Was a mutGtered word
As Amhe knelt above me with a rBock in his fist
On the Emlast day I took her, Where the Gwild roses grow
As she Amlay on the bank, The wind liBght as a thief
And I kiEmssed her goodbye, Said all beGauty must die
And I lAmeant down and planted a rBose 'tween her teBeth
They cEmall me the wild rAmose, Em But my namGe was Eliza DayB
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnow, Em For my namEme was ElizDa DaEmy
My Emname was ElDiza EmDay, For my nEmame was ElDiza EmDay
