Lyrics: [ The Wild Flowers ]
Twas' the wild flowers I preferred
Who owed nothing to nobody
But blossomed in the ditches
And made their own way in the world
Twas' the wild flowers I admired
Who never done nothing to you
But driven from the garden
Sang their own songs in the spring
Chorus:
You can have your lilie, you can have your rose
That were taken and broken, and bred by men
They were grafted and maimed, twisted and tamed
But the wild flowers I enjoyed
They had nothing to do with you
They flowered by the roadside
And wore their own colours in the sun
They were there before you
They'll be there after you
That will out, that will out
Like your own true nature
You can try, you can try
But you never will defeat...
The wild flowers I enjoyed
They had nothing to do with you
Banished from the garden
They made their own way in the world
Sang their own songs in the spring
And wore their own ... colours ... in the sun

Find your own way. Don't always just do or be as the others. Because you also are a flower in your own way. And enjoy life and nature as it unfolds around you :-) And then again. Maybe the song is just about the wild flowers that has their own beauty, compared to the cultivated garden? :-) Thanks and take care!11 years ago

Dear Cathie Ryan, please listen to my songs; "Raining Tears In Dublin" and Mt. Sacred Heart" and "The After Song" ...a trilogy meant to be sung in that order; clips at TinyUrlDOTcom dream of your voice singing my song. I have been writing for 30 yrs.

I first heard this song in De Barras in Clonakilty on a gig I shared with John Spillane, the man who wrote it. Cathie does a wonderful version, one I've played on my radio show. Thanks for posting the video!12 years ago

I saw her at a concert in washington and not only is she amazingly talanted, she's also absolutely hilarious. She was talking about a song she wrote and said somethign alogn the lines of, " I enjoy this song because there aren't really any Irish love songs, because either someone dies or 'She' says no. In this song, no one dies, and she says 'maybe'. " That wasn't the highlight of her humor, but she is quite funny.13 years ago
