"WILDWOOD FLOWER" - Parlor Version (?) She is waiting for me in a rose colored bower, And her eyes are like violets after a shower, For she's dreaming of dreams through the long summer hours, my sweetheart, my own, my frail wildwood flower. All the wild forest creatures are under her spell, On her shoulder the dove it's love secrets will tell, And the wild dappled fawn comes to lie at the feet, of my frail, wildwood flower, So gentle and so sweet. I will pick tender blossoms to twine in her hair, lovely roses so red and the lilies so fair, Lovely myrtle so bright with the emerald hue, Buttercups yellow, forget-me-nots blue There's no artist can paint her, no poet can write, How she warms this old heart like the sunbeams so bright, I will love and protect her and never more part, From that frail wildwood flower that twines around my heart

Who'd you forget? -Lotta folks. Check out Bert Jansch and John Renbourn. Mike Bloomfield on acoustic. Where's Merle Watson? Picking the Wildwood flower is a necessary rite of passage for any guitar player. -One of the first pieces I learned because it was infectious, instructive, easy to learn and beautiful. Oh, so beautiful. But. only a woman can sing that bitter-sweet glorious lyric. It is the ONE song I do not think can be adapted for a man to sing. One odd thing; Mother Maybelle played it in MANY different keys (C voicing), and this had little to do with her voice getting lower as she aged. The key would go up and down independent of her age. Maybe her voice was variable? All i know is that no country player should attempt any sort of career without learning to pick the Wildwood Flower. -And I am a JAZZ & blues player (although, I am a country boy). About 8 years ago, I was lucky enough to find a woman who could sing the Wildwood Flower and play mandolin. I have a debilitating disease and knew that i would not be able to play professionally much longer, and this woman popped up 30 minutes before my demise and agreed to sing the Wildwood Flower whilst i picked. I did this at a "folk" festival smiling a wide grin as we progressed through the song. I was in pure heaven. Not once did I look at the guitar as i was engrossed with the sound of her voice with the guitar. Shockingly few people know of The Wildwood Flower! Many people approached me backstage afterwards asking about that wonderful song "about the pale wildwood flower". I was saddened that so many country musicians were not familiar with the song. Weird! -All you parents, make sure your sons and daughters grow up being able to pick The Wildwood Flower! It is sooo important! Mother Maybelle always started kids off playing guitar using the Wildwood Flower as a first song. it is perfect for such a lesson. G-d Bless.

I recall being so proud of learning to play this song as a teenager. I played it at a church basement hootenanny circa 1962. My version was closer to Maybelle's than to Clarence's. It is probably most acoustic players' first instrumental tune.

Merle and Earl were both playing Maybelle style using the "Carter scratch". Chet played a bit of Maybelle style near the end of the clip, but was playing a chord melody style with the melody on top of the chord. James was using a flat pick to play a cross picking style. Doc, Tony and Clarence also did elaborate flat picked versions of the tune. This was the first tune many of us learned to pick.

Clarence comes out as the top virtuoso in that group. Chet next. Clarence shows a greater variety of technique and yet maintains the beauty of the melody. An amazing performance. Doc just seems to be playing fast without much feeling and Tony's embellishments are not quite on target. I'm sure he did a better version on other occasions. Clarence was astonishingly good, perhaps the cleanest guitarist ever.
