John Spillane - The Wild Flowers lyrics

rate me

'Twas the wild flowers I preferred

Who owed nothing to nobody

Who blossomed in the ditches

And made their own way in the world

'Twas the wild flowers I admired

Who never done nothing to you

But driven from the garden

They sang their own songs in the spring

You can have your lily

You can have your rose

That were taken and broken

And bred by people

They were grafted and lamed

Twisted and tamed

But the wild flowers I enjoyed

They had nothing to do with you

They flowered by the roadside

And they wore their own colours in the sun

That were there before you

Will be there after you

That will out, that will out

Like your own true nature

You can try, you can try

That you never will defeat

The wild flowers I admired

They had nothing to do with you

But banished from the garden

They made their own way in the world

They wore their own colours in the sun

And they sang their own songs in the spring<br />
