Had a girl named Mary Lou. (wild flower)
She was a wanderer, through and through (wild flower)
She wasn't the type to be settled down. (wild flower)
Well, just like the wind, she would roll around.
Wild flower, wild flower, why do you roam?
Wild flower, wild flower, so far from home?
Traveling across those wide shores
Far across the sea.
Wild flower, come back to me.
-- Mangua nay ma hula nay
Wild flower
-- Mangua nay ma hula nay
How I love you
-- Mangua nay ma hula nay
Wild flower
Mangua nay ma hula nay
Mangua nay ma hi-lua
Mangua nay ma hula nay
Hay-ay-ay ay-ay-ay.
Then one day when I came home
I looked around and she was gone
Cried about her every hour
'How I love my wild flower!'
Wild flower, wild flower, why do you roam?
Wild flower, wild flower, so far from home?
Traveling on her wide shores
Far across the sea.
Wild flower, come back to me.
Wild flower, wild flower,
Woo-ooo'
