[00:00.37]Emmylou Harris - How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower
[00:10.50]How she could sing the wildwood flower
[00:15.87]The orphan girl he would love so long
[00:22.64]In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
[00:26.58]And all he has left of her is a song
[00:33.51]
[00:35.64]He first saw her
[00:38.01]Standing by a cabin door
[00:41.26]Her song was ringing
[00:44.84]Out in a voice so strong and sure
[00:48.12]To the lonesome valley
[00:50.62]
[00:51.43]He'd bring her there to be his bride
[00:53.50]
[00:55.06]Where they would live and work together
[00:57.50]Side by side
[00:58.44]
[01:00.38]She was his sunshine
[01:02.68]
[01:03.62]She was his moon and morning star
[01:07.88]His words would ring true
[01:11.00]On the chords of her guitar
[01:14.19]But he was driven
[01:15.06]And lost to her for days and days
[01:19.19]Till the lonesome valley finally drove her far away
[01:28.07]How she could sing the wildwood flower
[01:33.81]The orphan girl he would love so long
[01:37.00]
[01:40.00]In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
[01:46.88]And all he has left of her is a song
[01:57.94]
[02:19.69]We all cling to
[02:22.06]As the years keep rolling on
[02:25.12]One single promise
[02:25.74]
[02:29.24]Of a love that's past and gone
[02:32.87]And that lonesome valley
[02:35.12]We all walk it by ourselves
[02:37.87]Where the wildwood flower
[02:40.18]Is a story we will tell
[02:41.45]
[02:45.88]How she could sing the wildwood flower
[02:48.39]
[02:52.34]The orphan girl he would love so long
[02:56.65]
[02:58.14]In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
[03:05.08]And all he has left of her is a song
[03:11.64]
[03:17.46]How she could sing the wildwood flower
[03:22.90]All we have left of her is a song
