Here is a version I have:
Wildwood Flower
---------------
The Carter Family
C majorC 
G7G7 C majorC
I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
C majorC 
FF C majorC
And the myrtle so green of an emerald hue
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And the pale emanita and islip so blue
Oh he promised to love me, he promised to love
And cherish me always all others above
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay
My passion for loving had vanished away
Oh he taught me to love him, he called me his flower
A augmentedA blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour
But now he has gone and left me alone
The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to moan
I'll dance and I'll sing and my life will be gay
I'll banish this weeping, drive troubles away
I'll live yet to see him regret this dark hour
When he won and neglected this frail wildwood flower.
Jim
