Over yonder in the graveyard Where the wild, wild flowers grow Oh, there she lay My own true lover She's gone from me forever more Fairer than the sweetest flowers Restless as the wildest wind Born with a love Deep as the ocean That was the girl that I did win I left her there back in the mountains To see the world, riches to gain When I returned No earthly trеasures Could ease this hеart So full of pain Way up high upon that mountain Beneath that little mound of clay The girl that I'd returned to marry So still among the flowers she lay I'll go away And I will wander Lay aside my earthly gains And I'll not end a man with riches Undone in sorrow I will remain Undone in sorrow I will remain
