Over yonder in the graveyard
Where the wild, wild flowers grow
There they laid my own true lover
She's gone from me, forever more

Fairer than the sweetest flower
Restless as the wildest way
Born with a love deep as a ocean
This was the girl that I did win

I left her there back in the mountain
To see the world riches to gain
Oh when I returned no earthy treasure
Could ease this heart so filled with pain

There so high upon the mountain
Beneath that little mound of clay
The girl that I returned to marry
So still among the flowers did lay

I'll go away and I will wander
Lay aside my earthy gain
All I am undone in riches
Undone in sorrow I'll remain
Undone in sorrow I'll remain
