Wild flowers grew out her backdoor
Down the hill and to the road
Where young men came to pick them
And to others they would go
Watching trough a dusty window
Sometimes from dusk til dawn
Waiting for the man she favored
But he never came to call
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
I guess she always knew
Bitterweeds were all she had
To look forward to
verse 2
Her neighbors said she was crazy
'Cause she stared when they walked by
They say she wore a black rose
But they never asked her why
There were rumors never denied
Growing tall like her grass
Gossips said she was widowed
Talked 'bout a love from her past
repeat Chorus
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
I guess she always knew
Bitterweeds were all she had
To look forward to
verse 3
Last Monday, church bells were ringing
Down the hill six men walked slow
She finally left that cabin
Taking secrets that she knows
Watching through a dusty window
Sometimes from dusk til dawn
Waiting for the man she favored
But he never came to call
repeat Chorus
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
I guess she always knew
Bitterweeds were all she had
To look forward to
