Lyrics

Over yonder in the grave where the wild, wild flowers �grow
Oh, there they lay over my true lover
She’s gone from me forever more
Fairer than the sweetest flower, restless as the wildest �wind
Born with a love deep as the ocean
That was the girl that I did win
Well, I went away and I did wonder to see the world �riches to gain
When I returned no earthly treasure
Could ease this heart so full of pain
For there so high up on the mountain beneath that �little mound of clay
The girl that I returned to marry
So still among the flowers did lay
Well, I’ll go away and I will wonder. Leave aside my �earthly gain
I will not envy the man with riches
Undone in sorrow I will remain
Undone in sorrow I will remain
