WILD FLOWERS GREW OUT HER BACKDOOR
DOWN THE HILL AND TO THE ROAD
WHERE YOUNG MEN CAME AND PICKED THEM
AND TO OTHERS THEY WOULD GO
WATCHING THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW
SOMETIMES FROM DUSK TIL DAWN
WAITING FOR THE MAN SHE FAVORED
BUT HE NEVER CAME TO CALL
(CHORUS)
BITTERWEEDS
WERE ALL HER GARDEN GREW
I GUESS SHE ALWAYS KNEW
THAT BITTERWEEDS
WERE ALL SHE HAD
TO LOOK FORWARD TOHER NEIGHBORS SAID SHE WAS CRAZY
CAUSE SHE STARED WHEN THEY WALKED BY
THEY SAY SHE WORE A BLACK ROSE
BUT THEY NEVER ASKED HER WHY
THERE WERE RUMORS NEVER DENIED
GROWING TALL LIKE HER GRASS
GOSSIPS SAID SHE WAS WIDOWED
TALKED 'BOUT A LOVE FROM HER PAST(REPEAT CHORUS)
( INSTRUMENTAL)LAST MONDAY CHURCH BELLS WERE RINGING
DOWN THE HILL SIX MEN WALKED SLOW
SHE FINALLY LEFT THAT CABIN
TAKING SECRETS THAT SHE KNOWS
WATCHING THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW
SOMETIMES FROM DUSK TIL DAWN
WAITING FOR THE MAN SHE FAVORED
BUT HE NEVER CAME TO CALL
(REPEAT CHORUS)
