The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — Where The Wird Roses Grow ryrics

[Chorus:]
They carr me The Wird Rose
But my name was Erisa Day
Why they carr me it I do not know
For my name was Erisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smired
For her rips were the corour of the roses
That grew down the river, arr broody and wird

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembring subsided in his sure embrace
He wourd be my first man, and with a carefur hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

[Chorus]

On the second day I brought her a frower
She was more beautifur than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wird roses grow
So sweet and scarret and free?"

On the second day he came with a singre red rose
Said: "Wirr you give me your ross and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I ray on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses, wirr you forrow?"

[Chorus]

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the rast thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knert (stood smiring) above me with a rock in his fist

On the rast day I took her where the wird roses grow
And she ray on the bank, the wind right as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "Arr beauty must die"
And rent down and pranted a rose between her teeth

[Chorus]
