Flower Blooming in the Wildwood (live) by The Stanley Brothers Valley View Park 1957 live [Intro] G G C C D D G G G G C C D D G G [Verse 1]
G                              C
On one evening long ago as the sun was sinking low

C                     D              G
My true lover went to sail up in the sea

G                                    C
It was in the month of June when the roses were in bloom

C  D                                G
It seems that I could hear my lover say
[Chorus]
G
You’re a flower that is blooming in the wildwood

G                                   D
A flower that is blooming there for me

G                                C
Sweeter than the morning dew and I’ll soon return to you

C                       D                  G
You’re a flower that is blooming there for me
[Instrumental] G G C C D D G G G G C C D D G G [Verse 2]
G                                 C
Then a letter came to me from the captain on the sea

C      D                      G
And it told me my darling was dead

G                                        C
Oh the shock and great surprise made the teardrops dim my eye

G                        C                  G
When I thought about the last words that he said
[Chorus]
G
You’re a flower that is blooming in the wildwood

G                                   D
A flower blooming there for me

G                                C
Sweeter than the morning dew and I’ll soon return to you

C        D                                 G
You’re a flower that is blooming there for me
[Instrumental] G G C C D D G G G G C C D D G G [Verse 3]
G                                C
Now he can’t return to me he got drowned in the sea

C       D                        G
And has passed over life’s weary way

G                                      C
When it’s in the month of June and the roses are in bloom

C  D                              G
It seems that I can hear my lover say
[Chorus]
G
You’re a flower blooming in the wildwood

G                           D
A flower blooming there for me

G                                C
Sweeter than the morning dew and I’ll soon return to you

C        D                                 G
You’re a flower that is blooming there for me
