Lyrics

[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
