Red-Headed Wild Flower

It's a shame, such a shame

A red-headed wild flower in the wrong garden

The man on the street didn't wanna be mean

Her love was just the wrong kind

She helped him to the top but the lovin' had to stop

He was years away when she died

It's a shame, such a shame

No one was able to ease the pain

A red-headed wild flower in the wrong garden

(The red-headed wild flower)

The man in the band extended a hand

He led a shadowy life

She made it easy at the top but the lovin' had to stop

He was years away when she died

It's a shame, such a shame

No one was able to ease the pain

It's a shame, such a shame

No one was able to to stop the rain

On the day she died there were some who cried

So young, such a shame, no one to blame, no, no

The man on the screen loved his own kind

When her love was blind

And the singer had a wife, trouble and strife

Both were years away when she died

It's a shame, such a shame

No one was able to ease the pain

A red-headed wild flower in the wrong garden

(A red-headed wild flower, growing in the wrong garden, yeah)
