Over yonder in the grave where the wild, wild flowers grow
Oh, there they lay over my 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
That was the girl that I did win
Well, I went away and I did wonder to see the world riches to gain
When I returned no earthly treasure
Could ease this heart so full of pain
For there so high up on the mountain beneath that little mound of clay
The girl that I returned to marry
So still among the flowers did lay
Well, I'll go away and I will wonder. Leave aside my earthly gain
I will not envy the man with riches
Undone in sorrow I will remain
Undone in sorrow I will remain
