Here is a favorite song my Mum liked to sing with Kathy and Rodney

"Wildwood Flower" by A. P. Carter

Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair

With the roses so red and the lilies so fair

And the myrtles 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 will be gay

I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay

All portions of love had all blown away

Oh she taught me to leave her and promised to love

And to cherish me over all others above

How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell

She left me no warning no words of farewell

Yes she taught me to love her and call me her flower 

That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour

Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour

She's gone and neglected her pale wildwood flower
