CHORUS
They called me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they called me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one,
As she stared in my eyes and smiled.
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild.

When he knocked on my door and entered the room,
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace.
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face

CHORUS

On the second day I brought her a flower.
She's more beautiful than any woman I'd seen.
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow,
So sweet and scarlet and free?'

On the second day he came with a single rose.
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed.
'If I show you the roses will you follow?'

CHORUS

On the third day he took me to the river.
He showed me the roses and we kissed.
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist.

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow.
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth.

CHORUS
