Intro
(Cello)
Chorus
They Call Me The Wild Ro-O-Ose; But My Name Was Elisa Day
Why They Call Me It I Do Not Kno-O-Ow; For My Name Was Elisa Day
Verse 1 ♂
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
Verse 2 ♀
When He Knocked On My Door And Entered The Room
My Trembling Subsided In His Sure Embrace
He Would Be My First Man And With A Careful Hand
He Wiped Up The Tears, That Ran Down My Face
Chorus
They Call Me The Wild Ro-O-Ose; But My Name Was Elisa Day
Why They Call Me It I Do Not Kno-O-Ow; For My Name Was Elisa Day
Verse 3 ♂
On The Second Day, I Brought Her A Flower
She Was More Beautiful, Than Any Woman I'd Seen
I Said: Do You Know, Where The Wild Roses Grow?
So Sweet And Scarlet And Free
Verse 4 ♀
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?
Chorus
They Call Me The Wild Ro-O-Ose; But My Name Was Elisa Day
Why They Call Me It I Do Not Kno-O-Ow; For My Name Was Elisa Day
Verse 5 ♀
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 The Muttered Word
As He Knelt Above Me With A Rock In His Fist
Verse 6 ♂
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 Leant Down And Planted, A Rose Between Her Teeth
Chorus
They Call Me The Wild Ro-O-Ose; But My Name Was Elisa Day
Why They Call Me It I Do Not Kno-O-Ow; For My Name Was Elisa Day
Outro
My Name Was Elisa Day, For My Name Was Elisa Day
