{comment:Chorus:}
He [Am]called me the wild [D5]ro-[Am]ose
But my [C]name was Elisa [E]Day
Why he [Am]called me that I do not [D5]kno-[Am]ow
For my [Am]name was [G5]Elisa [Am]Day
From the[Am] first day I saw her I knew[C] she was the one
She [Dm]stared in my eyes and [E]smiled
Her [Am]lips were the colour of the [C]roses
That [Dm]grow down the river all [E]bloody and wild

When he [Am]knocked on my door and [C]entered the room
My [Dm]trembling subsided in [E]his sure embrace
He would [Am]be my first man and [C]with a careful hand
He [Dm]wiped off the tears that [E]run down my face [E7]

{comment:Chorus}
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said "Do you know where the wild roses grow
so sweet and scarlet and free?"
{column_break}

On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said "Give me your lust and your sorrow"
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
{comment:Chorus}

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a martyr word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank going light as a thief               (?)
And I kissed her goodbye, said all beauty must die
And I leant down and planted a rose between her teeth
