C.W. McCall - Watch The Wildwood Flowers lyrics

Jimmy Joe left the mountain 'bout seven months ago,

When the autumn nights turned cool

Chasin' a dream, like they say

Just goin' away to school

An' though he loved Amy more'n anything else,

He felt he just had to go, and make his way

An' Amy felt pretty close to dyin' when Jimmy left

That September day

Y'see, there was somethin' she had to tell him,

But the words were never found

An' as they stood there by the garden gate,

Jimmy picked a wildflower from the ground

As he placed it in Amy's hand an' kissed her,

An' her fingers touched the dew,

He wiped her tears away and told her he'd be back

Not knowin' what she knew

[Chorus]

Watch the wildwood flowers for me

And I'll watch my dreams for you

And I promise that I'll write you everyday

And when the winter snow is gone

Touch the flowers as they grow

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way

Well, Jimmy Joe never wrote those letters

An' through the winter, Amy's hopes grew dim

As she felt the life inside her stir

An' she watched the flowers grow, for him

Last spring Jimmy Joe came home, too late

He found that Amy'd gone away

An' died givin' life to his baby boy

An' he recalled what he had said that September day

[Chorus]

Watch the wildwood flowers for me

And I'll watch my dreams for you

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way

Watch the wildwood flowers for me

And I'll watch my dreams for you

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way
