Flowers From The Hillside



 I've been gathering flowers from the hillside
 To wreathe around your brow
 But you've kept me a-waiting so long, dear
 That the flowers have all withered now


I know that you have seen trouble
But never hang down your head
Your love for me is like the flowers
Your love for me is now dead


  * Refrain


It was on one bright June morning
The roses were in bloom
I shot and killed my darling
OH, what will be my doom


  * Refrain


Those eyes can't see these roses
Those hands can't hold them you know
Those lips so still can not kiss me
They are gone from me forever more


  * Refrain
