10 Jul 00 - 12:30 PM (#255139) Subject: ADD: Wild Mountain Flowers for Mary ^^ From: Barbara Shaw I don't have the sheet music, but here are the lyrics as we have them: Wild Mountain Flowers (Allen Mills)
We grew up living close to each other Went to school and played side by side And I longed for the day I would ask her If she would be my bride. CHORUS I picked some wild mountain flowers for Mary And I told her I loved her today But she said we never could marry That her mother would stand in the way. Her daddy died when she was very young And she never knew love from a man Oh, I tried hard to show that I loved her And I tried to make her mother understand. Well my best days are gone, but I'm happy And my time's not very far away I'll pick some wild mountain flowers for Mary And I'll place them on her grave here today. ^^ |

11 Jul 00 - 02:43 PM (#255859) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wild Mountain Flowers for Mary From: Dale Rose Read backwards, and didn't know why you said folks, as I thought I was the only one to make the comment about Malcolm's post, but I see Alice and I posted at the same time. Since it was such a simple statement, I hadn't gone back and checked it for accuracy after posting as I ordinarily do. |
