lyrics

I picked this wild rose for you
by the covered bridge I longed for you
I've walked through Hell in these old boots
to bring this wild rose for you

I watched my love
move through the fair
the harvest moon shined on her auburn hair
my love for her burns like the fiery sea
and I only want her here with me

so come my love hear what I have to say
take my heart don't ever go away
and if you take this ring from me
say you'll walk forever with me

now you're the Rose and I'm the Briar
through summer sun
and winter's fires
when the young pass by our graves they'll see
that Love makes Death a cheat and a liar
