Your lonesomeness I know And your garden will not grow You can weed it all you want, you're still too slow If it wasnt for the sun, All the roses would've won And you pin up on my blouse a blue ribbon ...

'Cause only half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true

Over yonder in the graveyard Where the wild, wild flowers grow There they laid my own true lover She'd gone from me, forever more Fairer than the sweetest flower Restless as the wildest way Pored in with love deep as a ocean This is the girl that I did win I left her there back in the mountain To see the world riches to gain Oh, when I returned no earthy treasure Could ease this heart so filled with pain They saw high above the mountain Beneath that little mound of clay The girl that I returned to marry So stand a mound of flowers did lay I'll go lay you down and wonder Lay aside my earthy gain All I am undone in riches Undone in sorrow I'll remain Undone in sorrow I'll remain
