Lyrics

Poor Valley Wildflower

(Verse 1)
She started life as just a seed
Then she grew just like a weed
In that summer sunshine on that valley floor
Mom and daddy by her side
In that good old countryside
And all around her grew a dozen more.

(Chorus 1)
She's a Poor Valley wildflower
That blossomed beneath that June blue sky
She met the world with a smile
And she keeps it all the while
Despite that valley's heavy winds and rains

(Verse 2)
Money, no she don't need none
Her happiness comes from the sun
Knowing the best things in life are free
Like the buzzing of the bees
And the gentle morning breeze
And the birds singing their songs up in the trees

(Chorus 2)
She's a Poor Valley wildflower
That sparkles in that golden morning dew
She doesn't mind a little rain
No to her it's all the same
She knows that sun will always shine through

(Break)

(Verse 3)
Colorful flowers they grew
In shades of yellow, black and blue
And with these other flowers she would sway
They'd spread their seed in the wind
Knowing they'd be back again
To make that valley beautiful some day

(Chorus 3)
She's a Poor Valley wildflower
That blossomed beneath that June blue sky
She met the world with a smile
And she kept it all the while
Despite that valley's heavy winds and rains

(Chorus 4)
She's a Poor Valley wildflower
That sparkled in that golden morning dew
She didn't mind a little rain
No to her it's just the same
She knew that sun would always shine through

Yes, she knew that sun would always shine through
