Jason Hi everyone, The song of the week is 'Wildwood Flower' in the key of D. Recordings Flatt & Scruggs - key of D instrumental https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7U3pD_0yX8 The Carter Family - key of Bb: original recorded version with vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4xjqpARrHM Jam Videos Jason’s YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com) Progression 11511 11511 1141 11511 In the key of D: 1=D, 4=G, 5=A In the key of C: 1=C, 4=F, 5=G In the key of Bb: 1=Bb, 4=Eb, 5=F In the key of G: 1=G, 4=C, 5=D Lyrics As far as I can tell from listening to the original recording, the lyrics on it are as follows: Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair With the roses so red and the lilies so fair And the myrtle so bright with the emerald dew The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue. I will dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay I will charm ev'ry heart, in his crown I will sway When I woke from my dreaming, my idols was clay All portion of love had all flown away. Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love And to cherish me over all others above How my heart is now wond'ring no misery can tell He's left me no warning, no words of farewell. Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flow'r That's blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour He's won and neglected this pale wildwood flower. But, the original printed lyrics, published in 1860 are: I'll twine 'mid the ringlets of my raven black hair The lilies so pale and the roses so fair The myrtle so bright with an emerald hue And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue. I'll sing and I'll dance, my laugh shall be gay I'll cease this wild weeping, drive sorrow away. Tho' my heart is now breaking, he never shall know That his name made me tremble and my pale cheeks to glow. I'll think of him never, I'll be wildly gay I'll charm ev'ry heart, and the crowd I will sway. I'll live yet to see him regret the dark hour When he won, then neglected, the frail wildwood flower. He told me he loved me, and promised to love Through ill and misfortune, all others above Another has won him, ah! mis'ry to tell He left me in silence, no word of farewell. He taught me to love him, he call'd me his flower That blossom'd for him all the brighter each hour But I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay My visions of love have all faded away. The way I sing the song is based on the original set of lyrics, but is influenced by my familiarity with the Carter Family recording. For instance, I sing only 4 verses, by combining verses 2 and 3 together into a single verse. I omit the last three lines of verse 2 and the first line of verse 3 of the original set of lyrics. In the attachments, I have included two lyric cheat sheets, one for the original Carter Family recording, and one for the way I sing the song.
