I'm looking for the lyrics of a song called "Where the Wild, Wild Flowers Grow" (by Ola Belle Reed & Family).

Thanks.

WHERE THE WILD WILD FLOWERS GROW by Ola Belle Reed

Where the wild wild flowers grow
Thats were I long to go
That's the place I've always loved the best
When at least I lay me down, final peace and rest I've found
Going home to my home and there I'll rest
Going home to my home and there I'll rest

When as a little child hopes and dreams runnin' wild
Someday I'll live just like a queen upon a throne
Little did a poor girl know just how hard the way to go
So I wandered, I wandered far from home
I wandered, I wandered far from home

Freedom's in the air you can feel it everywhere
Don't be blinded it's God's gift can't you see
Never lay your armor down til peace and rest you've found
Going home going home to be free
Going home going home to be free

Cathy Fink does it on her album "Leading Role", Rounder Records, 1985
