Karaoké Me and the Wildwood Rose Carlene Carter

In my grandma's house her children would sing

Guitars a twangin' and their laughter would ring

I was little but I was the biggest kid

I wanted to do what the grown-ups did

In a big shiny car we'd head down the road

To sing for the miners who brought out the coal

Many a time I slept on the floorboard cold

On a quilt with my little sister the Wildwood Rose

And if I could change a thing in this world

I'd go back to the days when grandma and her girls

Were singing sweet and low for me and the Wildwood Rose

We'd be way down the road by the break of dawn

Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop song

In a world all my own

I saw what I saw

In the rear view mirror

I'd get a wink from my grandma

And if I could change a thing in this world

I'd go back to the days when grandma and her girls

Were singing sweet and low for me and the Wildwood Rose

Ah lee ah oh ah lee ah oh

Oh lay dee who ah lee oh lay dee hee

Oh I'll always remember the day that she died

My daddy he called me and he started to cry

I rode on an airplane with all of my pain

My tears would not stop we stood in a circle and sang

And if I could change a thing in this world

I'd go back to the days when grandma and her girls

Were singing sweet and low for me and the Wildwood Rose

For me and the Wildwood Rose for me and the Wildwood Rose

Ah lee ah dee oh ah lee ah dee oh lay dee who

Ah lee ah dee oh ah lee ah dee oh lay dee who
