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 Send " Watch The Wildwood Flowers" Ringtone to your Cell
