Reese Witherspoon - Wildwood Flower download song

Can't get enough of her down home style!!!!!

"And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew," Damn. She nailed that part so beautifully.

i love the movie walk the line that movie is he reason i started listening to junes songs

Reese Witherspoon sang so sweet...well done!

1. I'll twine 'mid the ringlets of my raven black hair, The lilies so pale and the roses so fair, The myrtle so bright with an emerald hue, And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue. 2. I'll sing and I'll dance, my laugh shall be gay; I'll cease this wild weeping drive sorrow away, Tho' my heart is now breaking, He never shall know That his name made me tremble and my pale cheeks to glow. 3. I'll think of him never I'll be wildly gay, I'll charm ev'ry heart, and the crowd I will sway, I'll live yet to see him, regret the dark hour When he won, then neglected, the frail wildwood flower. 4. He told me he loved me, and promis'd to love, Trough ill and misfortune, all others above, Another has won him, ah, misery to tell; He left me in silence no word of farewell. 5. He taught me to love him, he call'd me his flower That blossom'd for him all the brighter each hour But I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay My visions of love have all faded away. 6. I'll think of him never I'll be wildly gay, I'll charm ev'ry heart, and the crowd I will sway, I'll live yet to see him, regret the dark hour When he won, then neglected, the frail wildwood flower. 1860 - Words by Maud Irving

Weeeeellllll.....I got to admit, she sounds like a country singer.

God she sounds so good singing this song.

I count exactly two words different between this version and the Maybelle Carter version on Utube. Can we stop fussing about the lyrics? Clearly Reese patterned her delivery after Maybelle -- a slower pace but the same flat cadence and understated emotion. It is this that characterizes early country music and gives it its charm, and Reese is nothing here if not melt-your-heart charming.

Reese Witherspoon did a good job singing the one song that Mother Maybelle was known for... much respect.

Mother Mabel said her mother told her that she made up her own lyrics.  Wildwood flower was published in North Carolina in 1860, the Carter Family recorded it in 1929, seventy years later, but with Mabel's "edits".  It was originally a sentimental parlor ballad, but Mabel's rough embellishments had the effect of giving it an "authentic" homespun quality.  I suppose we should be grateful to the Carters for rescuing it from obscurity, and we can appreciate both the delicate lovely original (which is rarely performed) and the homespun Carter version.  If you can find a recording of the original. 

I absolutely love Reese Witherspoon and her voice in this song is so pleasing and harmonic.

I think Reese Witherspoon is a very beautiful and talnted singer

Reese was the perfect choice for June Carter. I can never get enough of her in the movie. Shes so sweet and caring. Beautiful and with the voice of an angel.

Maybelle, June and Now Reese.  Wonderfull. NB : I am French and I like very much Carter Family

beautiful lady with a beautiful voice, takes my soul on a journey.

This is the best version I've heard of this classic song. She did a great job.

Great version and this lady played June Carter I believe has a very similar way of singing to Maybelle Carter.

Love this song, and love it more with Reese singing!

I melt every time, what beauty.
