Carlene Carter - Me And The Wildwood Rose lyrics

rate me

In my grandma's house her children would sing

Guitars a twanging 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 on my own

I saw what I saw in the rear view mirror

I'd get a wink from my Grandma.

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.

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:

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

For me and the wildwood rose

For me and the wildwood rose

For me and the wildwood rose
