[00:09.20]They call me The Wild Rose
[00:16.50]But my name was Elisa Day
[00:21.20]Why they call me it I do not know
[00:28.30]For my name was Elisa Day
[00:33.20]From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
[00:37.30]As she stared in my eyes and smiled
[00:42.25]For her lips were the color of the roses
[00:47.12]They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[00:51.99]When he knocked on my door and entered the room
[00:56.55]My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
[01:01.11]He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
[01:05.12]He wiped the tears that ran down my face
[01:12.11]They call me The Wild Rose
[01:19.54]But my name was Elisa Day
[01:24.19]Why they call me it I do not know
[01:32.29]For my name was Elisa Day
[01:36.56]On the second day I brought her a flower
[01:40.32]She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
[01:45.24]I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
[01:50.11]So sweet and scarlet and free?"
[01:54.26]On the second day he came with a single rose
[01:59.27]Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
[02:04.33]I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
[02:08.92]He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?"
[02:15.98]They call me The Wild Rose
[02:23.51]But my name was Elisa Day
[02:27.32]Why they call me it I do not know
[02:34.51]For my name was Elisa Day
[02:38.90]On the third day he took me to the river
[02:44.11]He showed me the roses and we kissed
[02:48.29]And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
[02:53.23]As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
[02:58.11]On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
[03:02.91]And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
[03:07.31]As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
[03:11.54]And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[03:18.32]They call me The Wild Rose
[03:26.37]But my name was Elisa Day
[03:30.27]Why they call me it I do not know
[03:37.32]For my name was Elisa Day
[03:42.33]For my name was Elisa Day
[03:47.30]For my name was Elisa Day
