Over yonder in the graveyard
Where the wild wild flowers grow
There they laid my own true lover
She's gone from me forever more
Fairer than the sweetest flower
Restless as the wildest way
Pored in with love deep as ocean
Oh it's the girl that I did win
I left her there back in the mountain
To see the world riches to gain
Oh when I returned no earthy treasure
Could ease this heart so filled with pain
They saw high above the mountain
Beneath that little mound of clay
The girl that I returned to marry
So sweet a mound of flowers she laid
I'll go away and I'll wonder
Lay aside my earthy gain
And all I am undone the man in riches
Undone in sorrow I'll remain
Undone in sorrow I'll remain
