Song lyrics:

THEY CALL ME THE WILD ROSE
BUT MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY
WHY THEY CALL ME IT
I... DO NOT KNOW
FOR MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY

FROM THE FIRST DAY I... SAW HER
I KNEW SHE WAS THE ONE
SHE STARED IN MY EYES
AND SMILED

FOR HER LIPS WERE THE COLOUR
OF THE ROSES
THAT GREW DOWN THE RIVER
ALL BLOODY AND WILD

WHEN HE KNOCKED ON MY DOOR
AND ENTERED THE ROOM
MY TREMBLING SUBSIDED
IN HIS SURE EMBRACE

HE WOULD BE MY FIRST MAN
AND WITH A CAREFUL HAND
HE WIPED AT THE TEARS
THAT RAN DOWN MY FACE

THEY CALL ME THE WILD ROSE
BUT MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY
WHY THEY CALL ME THAT
I... DO NOT KNOW
FOR MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY

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

ON THE SECOND DAY HE CAME
WITH A SINGLE RED ROSE
HE SAID, GIVE ME YOUR LOSS
AND YOUR SORROW

I... NODDED MY HEAD
AS I LAY ON THE BED
IF I SHOW YOU THE ROSES
WILL YOU FOLLOW

THEY CALL ME THE WILD ROSE
BUT MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY
WHY THEY CALL ME THAT
I... DO NOT KNOW
FOR MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY

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 MUTTERED 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
THE WIND LIGHT AS A THIEF

AND I... KISSED HER GOODBYE
SAID ALL BEAUTY MUST DIE
AND I... LENT DOWN AND PLANTED
A ROSE 'TWEEN HER TEETH

THEY CALL ME THE WILD ROSE
BUT MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY
WHY THEY CALL ME IT
I... DO NOT KNOW
FOR MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY

MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY
FOR MY NAME WAS ELISA DAY
