Flowers From The Hillside

Chorus
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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
