Lyrics Gathering Flowers From The Hillside - Reno & Smiley

I've been gathering flowers from the hillside
To wreath around your brow
But you've kept me a-waiting so long, dear
That the flowers have all withered now

I know that you've seen trouble
But never hang down your head
Your love for me is like the flowers
Your love for me is dead

I've been gathering flowers from the hillside
To wreath around your brow
But you've kept me a-waiting so long, dear
That the flowers have all withered now

Your eyes cannot see these roses
Your hands cannot hold them, I know
And your lips that are still cannot kiss me
They are gone from me forever more

I've been gathering flowers from the hillside
To wreath around your brow
But you've kept me a-waiting so long, dear
That the flowers have all withered now
