[Intro]
[Verse 1]
On one evening
long ago as t
he sun was sin
king low
My true lover
went to sail u
p in the sea
It was in the
month of June
when the roses
were in bloom
It seems that
I could hear m
y lover say
[Chorus]
You’re a flowe
r that is bloo
ming in the wi
ldwood
A flower that
is blooming th
ere for me
Sweeter than t
he morning dew
and I’ll soon
return to you
You’re a flowe
r that is bloo
ming there for
me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Then a letter
came to me fro
m the captain
on the sea
And it told me
my darling wa
s dead
Oh the shock a
nd great surpr
ise made the t
eardrops dim m
y eye
When I thought
about the las
t words that h
e said
[Chorus]
You’re a flowe
r that is bloo
ming in the wi
ldwood
A flower bloom
ing there for
me
Sweeter than t
he morning dew
and I’ll soon
return to you
You’re a flowe
r that is bloo
ming there for
me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Now he can’t r
eturn to me he
got drowned i
n the sea
And has passed
over life’s w
eary way
When it’s in t
he month of Ju
ne and the ros
es are in bloo
m
It seems that
I can hear my
lover say
[Chorus]
You’re a flowe
r blooming in
the wildwood
A flower bloom
ing there for
me
Sweeter than t
he morning dew
and I’ll soon
return to you
You’re a flowe
r that is bloo
ming there for
me
