Chorus Lyrics 
These are the words I sing for the chorus:

I've been gathering flowers from the hillside,
To wreath around your brow;
But you kept me waiting so long dear,
That the flowers have all withered now.

In the attachments, I have included a lyric cheat sheet that gives the first words of each verse.

Happy Pickin',
Jason
