Traditional
Song of the Flower
[Intro]
See, see the flowers grow
See, see the flowers grow
See, see the flowers grow
See, see the flowers grow

[Verse 1]
When the hurt shall bring you woe
God made the healing herb to grow

[Verse 2]
A bloom on the tree when the apples are ripe
Means the end of somebody's life

[Verse 3]
Ash when green is fuel for a Queen
Ash when green is fuel for a Queen

[Verse 4]
The Michaelmas daisy a mong dead leaves
Blooms for St. Micheal’s valorous deeds

[Verse 5]
In dock, out nettle
Don't let the blood settle

[Verse 6]
Elder tree, elder tree, crocked and wrong
Never straight and never strong

[Verse 7]
Never bush and never tree
Since our Lord was nailed to thee

[Verse 8]
Under a thorn our saviour was born
Under a thorn our saviour was born

[Verse 9]
If the sagebrush thrives and grows
The master's not master and he knows
[Verse 10]
St. Agnes, that’s to lovers kind
Come ease the trouble of my mind

[Verse 11]
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
Elm do grieve and oak do hate
Willow do walk if you travel late
