The sweetest flower I ever saw
Grows on the westward plain
The only boy I ever loved
I never may see again
The Blue Star blooms but once a year
When the sun shines bright in the sky
But if you pluck those flowers out
Then they will surely die
And if you tell the one you love
That you'll be no man's bride
He'll leave you sure as the sun will rise
As sure as the tears you'll cry
The flowers in my garden grow
And bloom from spring to fall
But wildflowers grow just where they will
And need no care at all
The sweetest flower I ever saw
Grows on the westward plain
The only boy I ever loved
I never may see again
