Play the Wildwood Flower - Conrad Fisher
Conrad Fisher sings "Play the Wildwood Flower"

Hey folks, I hope you enjoy this love story. Thanks for listening!

VERSE 1
HE LIVED BY THE RIVER WHERE THE WILLOW TREES WERE GROWING,
MET HER HER ON A SUNDAY AND HE LOVED HER FROM THE START.
SHE LIVED ON THE MOUNTAIN WHERE THE WIND WAS ALWAYS BLOWING,
BUT 20 MILES OF MOUNTAIN ROAD DON’T MATTER TO THE HEART.

CHORUS
EVERY NIGHT HE’D
ASK POLITELY,
“IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE?”
AND EVERY TIME SHE’D
WHISPER SOFTLY
“OH MY DARLING
PLAY THE WILDWOOD FLOWER.”

VERSE 2
THEY MARRIED IN THE EARLY SPRING AS SOON AS THEY WERE ABLE,
MAKING PLANS TO BUILD A HOME AS SOON AS THEY COULD START.
HE KEPT A FIRE IN THE HEARTH AND FOOD UPON THE TABLE.
FIFTY YEARS AND MORE THEY NEVER SPENT A DAY APART.

VERSE 3
EARLY ONE DECEMBER MORNING WINTER CAME A CALLING.
NOT A THING WAS STIRRING THERE IN THE OLD HOME PLACE.
THEY FOUND THEM BY THE FIRESIDE, THE FLAME NO LONGER BURNING.
SHE WAS HOLDING TO HIS HAND, A SMILE UPON HER FACE.

CHORUS
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
THROUGH THE WILLOWS
WATCH FOR MOONLIGHT DANCING ON THE GROUND.
IF YOU ONLY
LISTEN CLOSELY
SOFTLY YOU MAY HEAR THE WILDWOOD FLOWER.
