LYRICS:
Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue
I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart in each crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay
All portion of love had all blown away
Oh he taught me to love him and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
He left me no warning no words of farewell
Oh he taught me to love him and call me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
How I long to see him and regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower

Dear Rosa Lee, thank you so much for your kind comment, it is such a pleasure to hear this. We are happy if we can make a small contribution to keeping the Carter Family music alive. Many greetings from Italy to you and all the best wishes.
What a perfect version of this song. She has the Carter "vibrato" in her voice combined with an upright bass and flat top guitar you can not get a better combo to recreate the Carter Family Fold Clinch Mountain style folk music. Real nice touch using the fiddle also.
Thank you so much for your lovely words! Very kind. Best wishes!
Love this! This was my grandfather's favourite tune he used to play at family + friends gatherings. Back when we played cards around a table with him playing his violin, his friend playing a harmonica and 12 year old me playing the spoons. No electronics required. Great times!
I love her voice, she has that classic sound with beauty to boot. Very nice.
A wonderful rendition of an old time favorite. The Carter Family would be very proud of you.👍✌️🖖

Hi Cymro, thank you so much for your kind words! :-)
Hi Mary Lee, sounds awesome. Greetings Arnold & Jessenina from Florida.
Hello Arnold & Jessenina, thank you so much for your kind message! Warm greetings from Italy
Mary you are so beautiful! Love the music. Please post some more songs!
Oh, that's a pleasure! Marry is such a beautiful lady and she can sing the good old American country music so beautifully. Her violin has such a natural sound as made for country music. I don't think Stradivari's violin would be suitable for this purpose.
Hello and thank you so much for your sweet comment. We are happy if we can contribute to keeping the appreciation for American country music alive. Thank you so much for your kind words and best wishes from Italy to you!
@@maryleecaesarscowboys Hello Mary. So now I'm completely confused about you. Which country are you from? I'm from Czech Republic. My hobby is country music and I play the violin. And you sing American country and you have an European accent.
@@mpospisil101 Hello there! I am Dutch, I am from The Netherlands, so that is why you can hear a European accent :-) That is so nice to hear that you play the violin too and that your hobby is country! I have taken a look at your videos, and your music makes me so happy! Love the cheerful sound and you play a lot of instruments. And sing very well. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your comments :)!
@@maryleecaesarscowboys Dear Marry. My name is Miroslav. How glad I am that you are from the Netherlands. Many tourists from the Netherlands come to the Czechia for holidays in summer and winter. We once played with a band near here in a caravan park. Dutch tourists around us. One elderly gentleman - a pensioner in a wheelchair. Amazing person. He was a former sailor on an ocean liner. He was with his wife. He sailed on a merchant ship from the Netherlands to North and South America. He told me about his work and of course about the music. He is said to have played the accordion as a sailor. On request, we played several songs from the Irish and Scottish repertoire. He cried with joy. A meeting I will remember for the rest of my life. Go ahead with the country music !
@@mpospisil101 Hi Miroslav, what an amazing story about the Dutch sailor! Thank you for sharing it with us and thank you for your kind words!
Was it a magnolia? Or a crimson colored corn poppy?
Très belle chanson et tu chante bien,❤❤❤
Merci beaucoup! 😊

Mandala výborná
Very, very few can do the vocals justice on this song. Unfortunately this isn't one of those.
when some go high, they go low.
Her voice is so unique it almost sounds artificial. Quite lovely actually, and better than The Carter Family original.
Hi Andronikos, that is too kind, thank you for your message!
