[00:09.51] They call me the Wild Rose [00:14.16] But my name was Elisa Day [00:20.69] Why they call me that I do not know [00:26.34] For my name was Elisa Day [00:32.37] From the first day I saw her [00:34.96] I knew she was the one [00:37.19] She stared at my eyes and smiled [00:41.63] For her lips were the colour of the roses [00:45.36] That grew down the river [00:48.97] All bloody and wild [00:51.35] When he knocked on my door and entered the room [00:56.26] My trembling subsided in his sure embrace [01:00.41] He would be my first man, and with a careful hand [01:05.27] He wiped at the tears that ran down my face [01:11.94] They call me the Wild Rose [01:19.21] But my name was Elisa Day [01:24.07] Why they call me that I do not know [01:30.76] For my name was Elisa Day [01:35.72] On the second day I brought her a flower [01:40.30] She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen [01:45.05] I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow [01:50.01] So sweet and scarlet and free?" [01:54.57] On the second day he came with a single red rose [01:59.02] He said: "Give me your loss and your sorrow!" [02:03.87] I nodded my head [02:06.18] As I lay on the bed [02:08.39] "If I show you the roses will you follow?" [02:15.18] They call me the Wild Rose [02:22.10] But my name was Elisa Day [02:26.83] Why they call me that I do not know [02:33.52] For my name was Elisa Day [02:39.42] On the third day he took me to the river [02:43.19] He showed me the roses, and we kissed [02:48.10] And the last thing I heard was a muttered word [02:52.96] As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist [02:57.66] On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow [03:01.95] She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief [03:06.65] As I kissed her goodbye, said "All beauty must die" [03:10.99] And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth [03:18.22] They call me the Wild Rose [03:24.63] But my name was Elisa Day [03:29.54] Why they call me that I do not know [03:36.59] For my name was Elisa Day [03:50.54]
