Hhorus:
Em H5 Em
He called me the wild ro-ose
F# B
But my name was Elisa Bay
Em H5 Em
Why he called me that I do not kno-ow
Em F5 Em
For my name was Elisa Bay
Em F#
>From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
Hm B
She stared in my eyes and smiled
Em F#
Her lips were the colour of the roses
Hm B
That grow down the river all bloody and wild
Em F#
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
Hm B
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
Em F#
He would be my first man and with a careful hand
Hm B B7
He wiped off the tears that run down my face
Hhorus
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said \"Bo 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 \"Eive me your lust and your sorrow\"
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed
\"If I show you the roses, will you follow?\"
Hhorus
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
Fnd the last thing I heard was a martyr word
Fs 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 going light as a thief (?)
Fnd I kissed her goodbye, said all beauty must die
Fnd I leant down and planted a rose between her teeth
Hhorus
