Watch The Wildwood Flowers — текст песни (C.W. Mccall)

(Ron Agnew)

Jimmy Joe left the mountain `bout seven months ago,
When the autumn nights turned cool
Chasin` a dream, like they say
Just goin` away to school

An` though he loved Amy more`n anything else,
He felt he just had to go, and make his way
An` Amy felt pretty close to dyin` when Jimmy left
That September day

Y`see, there was somethin` she had to tell him,
But the words were never found
An` as they stood there by the garden gate,
Jimmy picked a wildflower from the ground

As he placed it in Amy`s hand an` kissed her,
An` her fingers touched the dew,
He wiped her tears away and told her he`d be back
Not knowin` what she knew

[Chorus]
Watch the wildwood flowers for me
And I`ll watch my dreams for you
And I promise that I`ll write you everyday
And when the winter snow is gone
Touch the flowers as they grow
And when the first one blooms then I`ll be on my way

Well, Jimmy Joe never wrote those letters
An` through the winter, Amy`s hopes grew dim
As she felt the life inside her stir
An` she watched the flowers grow, for him

Last spring Jimmy Joe came home, too late
He found that Amy`d gone away
An` died givin` life to his baby boy
An` he recalled what he had said that September day

[Chorus]
Watch the wildwood flowers for me
And I`ll watch my dreams for you
And when the first one blooms then I`ll be on my way
Watch the wildwood flowers for me
And I`ll watch my dreams for you
And when the first one blooms then I`ll be on my way
And when the first one blooms then I`ll be on my way
