High on the mountain
Where the wild flowers grow
I fell in love with
My wild mountain Rose
Rose
Lived high on the mountain
With the bright lights
Of the city below
She dreamed of the day
We would go there
Just me
And my wild mountain Rose
But like the wild wind
I drifted from her
Far below
To the bright lights of town
I promised
To come back and get her
But time passed
And I'd let her down
Now high on the mountain
Where the wild flowers grow
Thеre's nothing but memories
Of my wild mountain Rosе
One night in town
They told me of this beauty
In a place
Where lonely men go
And they talked
Of her red lips and her black hair
And they called her
Their wild mountain Rose
And tonight
I saw Rose for the first time
In town
In her new city clothes
And I'm to blame
For the scarlet light that's burning
In the life
Of my wild mountain Rose
Now down in the valley
Where the lonely wind blows
I lost the love of
My wild mountain Rose
