Carter Carlene - Me And The Wildwood Rose Lyrics

In my Grandma's house her children would sing

Guitars a twangin' 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



And if I could change a thing in this world

I'd go back to the days

When Grandma and her girls

Were singing swett 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 all my own I saw what I saw

And in the rear view mirror I'd get a wink from my Grandma



And if I could change a thing in this world

I'd go back to the days

When Grandma and her girls

Were singing swett and low

For me and the Wildwood Rose



A lee a o a lee a o o lay dee who

A lee o lay dee



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



And if I could change a thing in this world

I'd go back to the days

When Grandma and her girls

Were singing swett 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

A lee a o

A lee a o lay dee who
