_ A wild twine with my [C] mangos and waving [F] black heart,
With the roses so red [C] and the lilies [F] so fair, _
And the myrtle so bright with [Bb] the [F] emerald hue,
The pale and the leader [C] and eyes [F] applied blue. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ I will dance, I will sing, and [C] my life [F] shall be gay,
_ I will charm every [C] heart in his crown I [F] will sway.
When I [Am] woke from my dream [Bb] and my eyes [F] were clay,
All portion of [C] love had all gone [F] away. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Oh, he taught me to love [C] him and [F] promise to love,
And to cherish me [C] over all others [F] above. _
How my [C] heart is now [Bb] wandering, no [F] misery can tell,
He's left me no warning, [C] no words of [F] farewell. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Oh, he taught me to [C] love him and call me [F] his flower,
_ That was blooming to cheer [C] him through [F] life's dreary hours.
Oh, I long to see him and [Bb] regret the [F] dark hour,
He's gone and neglected [C] this pale [F] wildwood flower. _ _ _ _ _ _
