Oh, Flower of Scotland,
When shall we see,
Your like again?
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit hill and glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again

Flower of Scotland - The Corries (often used as Scottish national anthem, about Battle of Bannockburn)

Did the bugle play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play The Flowers of the Forest

Willie McBride, or Green Fields of France, or something (it has lots of names, it seems)

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

Sandra Dodd said...

Now there's a moanin' on ilka green loanin'
The flowers of the forest are all wa'ed awa|

(That song, I knew long before Willie McBride.)

I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase that you bought
Today

I love the flower girl
Was she reality or just a dream to me

(I don't know who... one of those 1967ish things)

Deborah in IL said...

Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them every one

Another of those 60's things

Once in love with Amy,
Always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her,
Sets your heart afire to stay.
Get rid of your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers,
Moon a million hours away.

(Frank Loesser, from "Where's Charley?")

You don't bring me flowers,
You don't sing me love songs,
You hardly talk to me anymore,
When you come through the door at the end of the day


You Don't Bring Me Flowers - Neil Diamond

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Tanya Tucker, "Delta Dawn"

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers, for especially in the month of June.
There's a wealth of happiness and romance, all in the golden afternoon.

from Alice in Wonderland (the older Disney version)

Deborah in IL said...

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all

On the second day I brought her a flower,
She was more beautiful than any women I'd seen,
I said "do you know, where the wild roses grow, so sweet and scarlet and free?"

Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

Lemon Tree - I think Peter, Paul and Mary have recorded the song, and quite a few others.
