 (ron agnew)



Jimmy joe left the mountain 'bout seven months ago

When the autumn nights turned cool

Chasin' a dreamlike they say

Just goin' away to school



An' though he loved amy more'n anything else

He felt he just had to goand make his way

An' amy felt pretty close to dyin' when jimmy left

That september day



Y'seethere was somethin' she had to tell him

But the words were never found

An' as they stood there by the garden gate

Jimmy picked a wildflower from the ground



As he placed it in amy's hand an' kissed her

An' her fingers touched the dew

He wiped her tears away and told her he'd be back

Not knowin' what she knew



[chorus]

Watch the wildwood flowers for me

And I'll watch my dreams for you

And I promise that I'll write you everyday

And when the winter snow is gone

Touch the flowers as they grow

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way



Welljimmy joe never wrote those letters

An' through the winteramy's hopes grew dim

As she felt the life inside her stir

An' she watched the flowers growfor him



Last spring jimmy joe came hometoo late

He found that amy'd gone away

An' died givin' life to his baby boy

An' he recalled what he had said that september day



[chorus]

Watch the wildwood flowers for me

And I'll watch my dreams for you

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way

Watch the wildwood flowers for me

And I'll watch my dreams for you

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way

And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way
