Jimmy Joe left the mountain 'bout seven months ago
When the autumn nights turned cool
Chasin' a dream, like they say
Just goin' away to school
An' though he loved Amy more'n anything else
He felt he just had to go, and make his way
An' Amy felt pretty close to dyin' when Jimmy left
That September day
Y'see, there was somethin' she had to tell him
But the words were never found
An' as they stood there by the garden gate
Jimmy picked a wildflower from the ground
As he placed it in Amy's hand an' kissed her
An' her fingers touched the dew
He wiped her tears away and told her he'd be back
Not knowin' what she knew
Watch the wildwood flowers for me
And I'll watch my dreams for you
And I promise that I'll write you everyday
And when the winter snow is gone
Touch the flowers as they grow
And when the first one blooms then I'll be on my way
When the autumn nights turned cool
Chasin' a dream, like they say
