Me and the Wildwood Rose

                                  In my Grandma's house her children would sing 

Guitars a twangin' and their laughter would ring 

I was little but I was the biggest kid 

I wanted to do what the grown-ups did 



In a big shiny car we'd head down the road 

To sing for the miners who brought out the coal 

Many a time I slept on the floorboard cold 

On a quilt with my little sister 

The Wildwood Rose 



[Chorus:]

And if I could change a thing in this world 

I'd go back to the days 

When Grandma and her girls 

Were singing sweet and low 

For me and the Wildwood Rose 



We'd be way down the road by the break of dawn 

Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop song 

In a world all my own I saw what I saw 

And in the rear view mirror I'd get a wink from my Grandma 



[Chorus]



A lee a o a lee a o o lay dee who 

A lee o lay dee 



Oh I'll always remember the day that she died 

My daddy he called me and he started to cry 

I rode on an airplane with all of my pain 

My tears would not stop 

We stood in a circle and sang 



[Chorus]



For me and the Wildwood Rose 

For me and the Wildwood Rose 

For me and the Wildwood Rose 

A lee a o 

A lee a o lay dee who
