Wild flowers grew out her backdoor
Am
Down the hill and to the road
G
Where young men came to pick them
Am
And to others they would go

Watching trough a dusty window
E7 Am
Sometimes from dusk til dawn
Dm Am
Waiting for the man she favored

But he never came to call

Bitterweeds were all her garden grew

I guess she always knew

Bitterweeds were all she had

To look forward to

Her neighbors said she was crazy

'Cause she stared when they walked by

They say she wore a black rose

There were rumors never denied

Growing tall like her grass

Gossips said she was widowed
E7 Am
Talked 'bout a love from her past

I guess she always knew

Bitterweeds were all she had

To look forward to

Last Monday, church bells were ringing
Am
Down the hill six men walked slow
G
She finally left that cabin

Taking secrets that she knows

Sometimes from dusk til dawn

Waiting for the man she favored

But he never came to call

I guess she always knew
