They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that I do not know For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one She stared in my eyes and smiled For her lips were the colour of the roses That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room My trembling subsided and in his sure embrace He would be my first man, and with a careful hand He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that I do not know For my name was Elisa Day
On the second day I brought her a flower She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose He said: "Give me your loss and your sorrow?" I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed "If I show you the roses will you follow?"
They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that I do not know For my name was Elisa Day
On the third day he took me to the river He showed me the roses and we kissed And the last thing I heard was a muttered word As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die" And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that I do not know For my name was Elisa Day
