Mike Ness- Wildwood Flower

Copyright: Sony Music Entertainment ©

Lyrics:
she'll twine and she'll mingle her waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
With miles so green like an emerald hew
The pale and the nature and voilet to blue

he promised to love her; he promised to love
to cherish her always, to others above.
she woke from her dream, and her idol was clay
her passion for loving had vanished away.

he taught her to love him; he called her his flower
A blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour
though her heart now is breaking sha'll never know
how his name makes her tremble, with pale cheeks to glow

she'll dance and she'll sing her life shall be gay
she'll banih his weaping, drive troubles away
she'll live yet to see him regret this dark hour
when we won and neglected this frail wildwood flower

[imzombified]

If you care so much then why don't you go read your own fucking lyrics. Don't like it?Don't read it simple as that. Who gives a fucking shit about a few minor mistakes? ridiculous, find something else to shit on.

[Warlock27rp]

[pitbull8myguitar]

@imzombified Wrong. The Carter Family was just covering it with their own take on it. Maud Irving wrote the lyrics and Joseph Philbrick wrote the music in 1860. "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets" was the original name of the song.

@skylersdad100 He's one of the founding members and front man of Social Distortion, and although they're a neo-rockabilly/punk band, you can really hear their roots influences in their song writing. Such a good band. I really like Mike Ness' solo stuff like this too. It's funny how songs like Wildwood Flower are absolutely timeless. This song was actually long before even The Carter Family, it was written somewhere in Arkansas in 1860.
