Thanks Q,

Gathering Flowers from the Hillside is another song collected by Belden before the Carters 1935 recording. Some lyrics are: "I've been gathering wild flowers on the hillside To wreathe upon your brow. But
so long you've kept me waiting They are dead and faded now."

It appears in the 1945 JOAFL as collected by Crabtree. The 1962 JOAFL says "Gathering Flowers from the Hillside" and "Charlie Brooks and Nellie Adair," are traditional.

GATHERING FLOWERS FROM THE HILLSIDE- Carter Family

I've been gathering flowers from the hillside
To wreath around your brow
But you've kept me a-waitin' so long, dear
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 dead

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

Closed eyes cannot see these roses
Closed hands cannot hold them, you know
And these lips that still cannot kiss me
Has gone from me forever more
