Wildflower Moon

Sung by Rosie Cue: “Good. Now, Dan, you just sit down here and we’ll see if Rosie’s got what it takes.” The birds are singing And the rabbits play Down by the waterside Looking for love, looking for love My love lives in a dugout shack Down by Buffalo Gap His eyes are deep as a prairie dog hole And his smile’s as sharp as a trap Hi, ho don’t you know I’m his little wildflower You can’t make pone From store-bought meal And you can’t get shine Without sour Come on up to the Hills with me Springtime full in bloom Sun so bright you’ll close your eyes Rest your mind by the light of a wildflower moon I told him he was my true love He asked me how I know I said all the other pretty fellers I’d seen Was a bit more kin than beau Hi, ho don’t you know I’m his little wildflower You can’t make pone From store-bought meal And you can’t get shine Without sour Now I got me a coon hat, fits me fine I wear it down to the church Yeah, I got me a spirit rough as a oak But a soul as white as a birch Hi, ho don’t you know I’m his little wildflower You can’t make pone From store-bought meal And you can’t get shine Without sour Come on up to the Hills with me Springtime full in bloom Sun so bright you’ll close your eyes Rest your mind by the light of a wildflower moon Now some grow broad and some grow tall And some grow just plain wild But you’ll always grow needles on a white-pine tree And thorns on a wildflower child Hi, ho don’t you know I’m his little wildflower You can’t make pone From store-bought meal And you can’t get shine Without sour Come on up to the Hills with me Springtime full in bloom Sun so bright you’ll close your eyes Rest your mind by the light of a wildflower moon
