Rambling and rugged
Rough and tumble as they come
Hit a patch there when things got bad
Had to high tail it out of Tahlequah

She was a wildflower
A warm summer breeze
Daddy told her not to talk
To the workers all that much
But she put her eyes all over me
When he falls asleep won't you come out with me
See how long we can make one night last

(Shalalalalalalalalala)

Harvest is over
I'll be leaving soon
In a year from today I'll be coming back this way
I'm going to marry you
Come back with me behind these orchard trees
You don't have to even ask
Hey! Hey!

(Shalalalalalalalalala)
Don't it feel right?

Sitting there on the front stairs she was waiting
In a dress she made packed to go away they said she was crazy
The Ozark moon came to view, in the distance she saw something move
It's about time darling don't you know
It's been so long I've been waiting for you
Hey! Hey!

(Shalalalalalalalalala)
Love me like you mean it
Hold me like you know me
