FLOWERS IN HER HAIR

Sunday morning, walking by the river
I came upon a young girl walking there
She said she was the new wife of my neighbour
And I noticed she had flowers in her hair

Many times I saw her by the river
Often she would stop and talk to me
Then one day, we sat down together
And picked some of the flowers growing free

The sun shone down upon us
As we were sitting there
We lay down together
And then I put flowers in her hair

Every Sunday morning I would meet her
We passed the time as lovers always do
I told her that one day we'd be together
She told me that she hoped it would come true

INSTRUMENTAL

The sun shone down upon us
As we were laying there
She told me that she loved me
And then I put flowers in her hair

Then one Sunday laying by the river
In each others arms without a care
We heard somebody calling out her name and
We looked up and saw him standing there

He looked down upon us
As we were laying there
He lifted up his shotgun
And then I saw blood all in her hair

The sheriff came and took away my neighbour
He's waiting in the prison soon to die
My love lies still and cold beneath the flowers
And once again I'm laying by her side

The sun it shines above us
As we are laying there
I tell her that I love her
And then I put flowers in her hair
