Flowers from the hillside



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



  * Refrain



It was on one bright june morning
The roses were in bloom
I shot and killed my darling
OH, what will be my doom



  * Refrain



Those eyes can't see these roses
Those hands can't hold them you know
Those lips so still can not kiss me
They are gone from me forever more



  * Refrain
