Listen we would like to

We would like to do for you a real pretty song

That was done by a group of people

‘But the latter part of 1972, early part of ’73

Tune simply entitled “Wildflower”

Now the first time we heard this song

It sounded like a

Well, to tell the truth it sounded like a white guy

Tryin’ to do a black thing, huh

But we come to find out later

That it was a white, a black guy

Tryin’ to do a white thing, you know what I’m sayin’

And so we, we got it together

And we did our own version of it

And we would like to lay it on you

We think it’s very pretty

And for those of you who are hearin’ it for the first time

We’d like for you to sit back and enjoy

Those of you who heard it before

We’d like for you to scream like hell if you

Oh...oh...oh...

Oh...yeah...

Mmm

What a song, what a song to sing

And I’m singin’ my song, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Sing a song

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She faced the hardest times you would imagine

And many times her eyes fought back the tears, yeah, yeah

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders

Fought the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow no one hear

Still rings in midnight silence in her ear

Let her cry for she’s a lady

Let her dream, she’s a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She’s a free and gentle flower growin’ wild

And if by chance I should hold her (Hold her)

Let me, let me hold her for a little while

And if I had but one possession

I would take her from the garden to be mine, oh...oh...yeah...yeah

Be careful how you touch her for she night awaken

And sleep is the only freedom that the little girl knows

And when you walk into your eyes, you won’t believe

The way she’s always payin’

For a debt she never, never owed

And the silent wind still blows

But only she can hear, so she goes

Let her cry for she’s a lady

Let her dream, she is a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She’s a free and gentle flower growin’ wild

Let her cry, cry for she’s a lady

Let her dream and dream and dream and dream, she’s a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She’s a free and gentle flower growin’ wild

She’s, she’s

She’s a free and gentle flower, yeah, yeah

I’mma tell the world about my wildflower, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Growin’, gowin’, growin’, yeah, yeah

Hoo...hoo...ooh...ooh...hoo...hoo...ooh...yeah, yeah

Growin’, gowin’, growin’, yeah

Growin’ wild

She’s a flower growin’, growin’ wild

She’s a flower growin’, growin’ wild

She’s a flower growin’, growin’ wild

She’s a flower growin’ wild

Wild, wild, la-la, growin’ wild

Wild, wild, la-la, growin’ wild

Wild, wild, la-la, growin’ wild

Wild, wild, la-la, growin’ wild
