[00:01.23]Where The Wild Roses Grow
[00:02.13]
[00:03.23]
[00:04.04]For Jack Chan
[00:07.24]
[00:09.94]They call me The Wild Rose
[00:16.78]But my name was Elisa Day
[00:21.49]Why they call me that I do not know
[00:28.40]For my name was Elisa Day
[00:31.81]
[00:33.18]From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
[00:37.91]She stared in my eyes and smiled
[00:42.58]For her lips were the colour of the roses
[00:47.32]That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[00:51.94]
[00:52.30]When he knocked on my door and entered the room
[00:56.65]My trembling subsided and in his sure embrace
[01:01.33]He would be my first man, a work a full hand
[01:06.16]He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
[01:10.01]
[01:12.87]They call me The Wild Rose
[01:19.91]But my name was Elisa Day
[01:24.51]Why they call me that I do not know
[01:31.34]For my name was Elisa Day
[01:36.16]
[01:36.53]On the second day I brought her a flower
[01:40.95]She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen
[01:45.83]I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
[01:50.70]So sweet and scarlet and free?"
[01:53.47]
[01:55.03]On the second day he came with a single red rose
[01:59.31]He said: "Give me your loss and your sorrow?"
[02:04.33]I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
[02:09.25]"If I show you the roses will you follow?"
[02:12.80]
[02:15.95]They call me The Wild Rose
[02:23.15]But my name was Elisa Day
[02:27.23]Why they call me that I do not know
[02:34.27]For my name was Elisa Day
[02:38.84]
[02:39.80]On the third day he took me to the river
[02:43.99]He showed me the roses and we kissed
[02:48.62]And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
[02:53.89]As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
[02:58.12]
[02:58.48]On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
[03:02.77]She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
[03:07.14]And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
[03:11.74]And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[03:18.65]
[03:18.98]They call me The Wild Rose
[03:25.53]But my name was Elisa Day
[03:30.43]Why they call me that I do not know
[03:36.92]For my name was Elisa Day
