Instrumental intro

Mama was his wildwood flower my daddy used to say
And to prove to her he loved her he'd play it every day.
Mom would look at him and smile she'd say "god bless my man
I don't regret one single time that i gave him my hand."

Refrain
The wildwood flower
(the wildwood flower)
Was his favorite song
And when he played for mama
Her house became a home.

Instrumental break

Mom took sick and passed away this was his darkest hour.
He came home that very day and he played the wildwood flower.
Time went by and he grew old he'd sit and play for hours
Mem'ries of mom on his old guitar he'd play the wildwood flower.

Refrain

Instrumental break

One night as i walked by his house i though i heard his song.
I heard mama talkin' but mom had long been gone.
I looked through the window and saw god's mighty power
There sat mom with daddy he was playin' the wildwood flower.

Refrain

Instrumental break

As he grew old he could play no more and his mind began to fail.
We'd often find him in the field he seemed so old and frail.
One day we couldn't find him and after many days
Found him lyin' with the wildwood flowers up on mama's grave.
