Over yonder in the graveyard
Where the wild wild flowers grow
Oh there they laid my old true lover
She’s gone from me forever more

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

I left her there back in the mountain
To see the world riches to gain
When I returned no earthly treasure
Could ease this heart so full of pain

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

I’ll go away and I will wonder
Lay aside my earthly gain
And I’ll not envy the man with riches
Undone in sorrow I’ll remain
Undone in sorrow I’ll remain

[6m] Over yonder in the grave-[1]-yard
Where the [6m] wild [4] wild flowers [1] grow
Oh there they [6m] laid my old true [1] lover
She’s gone from [6m] me forever more

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

I left her there back in the mountain
To see the world riches to gain
When I returned no earthly treasure
Could ease this heart so full of pain

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

I’ll go away and I will wonder
Lay aside my earthly gain
And I’ll not envy the man with riches
Undone in sorrow I’ll remain
Undone in sorrow I’ll remain
