letra de wildwood flower (at san quentin) - the carter family ii

[intro: june carter cash]
some people ask the question, they say, “where did this crazy thing we call country, western and folk music, where did it really come from, where did it start?” and maybe it started with this kind little lady who is our mama. some people say that it might have started back around that time with the old original carter family. mama maybelle and uncle a.p. and aunt sara carter. they started with the old guitar in 1927 that you see hung around my mother’s neck and, and this old autoharp and they picked and sung. uncle a.p. took a notion to sing and he sung and that’s the way it was. so, wе’ll take you back to 1927 when it first started and lеt you hear some of the first sounds of country music and a little song that mama’s probably most famous for, that’s she picked out a little old two-fingered guitar picking style called the “carter scratch” for so long. a little old song called “the wildwood flower”

[verse 1: mama maybelle & the carter family]
oh, i’ll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
with the roses so red and the lilies so fair
and the myrtle so bright with the emerald dew
the pale amanita and eyes look like blue

[verse 2: mama maybelle & the carter family]
i will dance, i will sing, and my life shall be g-y
i will charm every heart, in his crown i will sway
when i woke from my dreaming my idol was clay
all portion of love had all flown away

[verse 3: mama maybelle & the carter family]
oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love
and to cherish me over all others above
how my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
he’s left me no warning, no words of farewell

[verse 4: mama maybelle & the carter family]
oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower
that’s blooming to cheer him through life’s dreary hour
oh, i long to see him and regret the dark hour
he’s gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower
[outro]
(the carter family)
(mother maybelle, helen, june and anita)
(the carter family)
