Me And The Wildwood Rose — Carlene Carter
Chords and lyrics for Me And The Wildwood Rose by Carlene Carter (key of C).
Verse 1
[C]In my Grandma's house her children would sing
Guitars a twangin' and their laughter would ring
I was [A]little but I was the [C]biggest [G]kid
I wanted [Am]to do what the grown-ups [C]did
[C]In a big shiny car we'd head down the road
To sing for the miners who brought out the coal
[Am]Many a time I slept on the [F]floorboard [C]cold
On a [Am]quilt with my little sister
The Wildwood [C]Rose
Chorus
And if [F]I could change a thing in this world
I'd go[C] back to the days
When Grandma and her girls
[G]Were singing sweet and low
For me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
Verse 2
[C]We'd be way down the road by the break of dawn
[C]Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop song
[Am]In a world all my own I[G] saw what I saw
And in the rear view [Am]mirror I'd get a [F]wink from [G]my [C]Grandma
Chorus
And if [F]I could change a thing in this world
I'd go[C] back to the days
When Grandma and her girls
[G]Were singing sweet and low
For me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
Bridge
A[G] lee a o a[C] lee a o o[G] lay dee [C]who
[F]A lee o [C]lay dee[G]
Verse 3
[C]Oh I'll always remember the day that she died
My daddy he called me and he started to cry
[Am]I rode on an airplane with all of my [G]pain
[Am]My tears would not stop
[C]We stood in a circle and sang
Chorus
And if [F]I could change a thing in this world
I'd go[C] back to the days
When Grandma and her girls
[Dm]Were singing [G]sweet and low
For me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
For [G]me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
For [G]me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
For [G]me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
Refrain
[G]A lee a o[C]
