Here is a version I have:

Wildwood Flower
---------------

The Carter Family

C G7 C
I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair
C G7 C
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
C F C
And the myrtle so green of an emerald hue
C G7 C
And the pale emanita and islip so blue

Oh he promised to love me, he promised to love
And cherish me always all others above
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay
My passion for loving had vanished away

Oh he taught me to love him, he called me his flower
A blossom to cheer him through life`s weary hour
But now he has gone and left me alone
The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to moan

I`ll dance and I`ll sing and my life will be gay
I`ll banish this weeping, drive troubles away
I`ll live yet to see him regret this dark hour
When he won and neglected this frail wildwood flower.

Jim
