In my Grandma's house her children would sing 
Guitars a twangin' and their laughter would ring 
I was little but I was the biggest kid 
I wanted to do what the grown-ups did 

In a big shiny car we'd head down the road 
To sing for the miners who brought out the coal 
Many a time I slept on the floorboard cold 
On a quilt with my little sister 
The Wildwood Rose 

And if I could change a thing in this world 
I'd go back to the days 
When Grandma and her girls 
Were singing swett and low 
For me and the Wildwood Rose 

We'd be way down the road by the break of dawn 
Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop song 
In a world all my own I saw what I saw 
And in the rear view mirror I'd get a wink from my Grandma 

And if I could change a thing in this world 
I'd go back to the days 
When Grandma and her girls 
Were singing swett and low 
For me and the Wildwood Rose 

A lee a o a lee a o o lay dee who 
A lee o lay dee 

Oh I'll always remember the day that she died 
My daddy he called me and he started to cry 
I rode on an airplane with all of my pain 
My tears would not stop 
We stood in a circle and sang 

And if I could change a thing in this world 
I'd go back to the days 
When Grandma and her girls 
Were singing swett and low 
For me and the Wildwood Rose 

For me and the Wildwood Rose 
For me and the Wildwood Rose 
For me and the Wildwood Rose 
A lee a o 
A lee a o lay dee who
