I had a girl named Mary Lou
Wild Flower
She was a wonder in grew and bloom
Wild Flower
She was attempted to be at seven in town
Wild Flower
But like the wind she was roamin' round
.
Wild Flower, Wild Flower, why do you roam
Wild Flower, Wild Flower, so far from home
Ramblin' on the white shores far across the sea
Wild Flower, come back to me
.
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
Wild Flower
Ahambula ahambulei
How I love you
Mambulei mapulalei
Wild Flower
Ahambula ahambulei
.
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
Ahambula ahambulei
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
Ahambula ahambulei
Mambulei mapulalei
Away
.
Then one day when I came home
Mambulei mapulalei - hey
I looked around and she was gone
Ahambula ahambulei - hey
Cryin' about her every hour
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
How I loved my Wild Flower
.
Wild Flower, Wild Flower, why do you roam
Wild Flower, Wild Flower, so far from home
Ramblin' on the white shores far across the sea
Wild Flower, come back to me
.
Wild Flower, Wild Flower
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
Ahambula ahambulei
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
Ahambula ahambulei
Mambulei mapulalei – hey
