Where the Wild Roses Grow<\/p>\n

They call me The Wild Rose
\nBut my name was Elisa Day
\nWhy they call me it I do not know
\nFor my name was Elisa Day<\/p>\n

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
\nAs she stared in my eyes and smiled
\nFor her lips were the colour of the roses
\nThey grew down the river, all bloody and wild
\nWhen he knocked on my door and entered the room
\nMy trembling subsided in his sure embrace
\nHe would be my first man, and with a careful hand
\nHe wiped the tears that ran down my face
\nThey call me The Wild Rose
\nBut my name was Elisa Day
\nWhy they call me it I do not know
\nFor my name was Elisa Day<\/div>\n

On the second day I brought her a flower
\nShe was more beautiful than any woman I’d seen
\nI said, ‘Do you know where the wild roses grow
\nSo sweet and scarlet and free?
\nOn the second day he came with a single rose
\nSaid: ‘Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?’
\nI nodded my head, as I laid on the bed
\nHe said, ‘If I show you the roses will you follow?’<\/p>\n

They call me The Wild Rose
\nBut my name was Elisa Day
\nWhy they call me it I do not know
\nFor my name was Elisa Day<\/p>\n

On the third day he took me to the river
\nHe showed me the roses and we kissed
\nAnd the last thing I heard was a muttered word
\nAs he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
\nOn the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
\nAnd she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
\nAs I kissed her goodbye, I said, ‘All beauty must die’
\nAnd lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
\nThey call me The Wild Rose
\nBut my name was Elisa Day
\nWhy they call me it I do not know
\nFor my name was Elisa Day.<\/p>\n
