Kate Campbell Wild Iris
She wore lace white as snow
Under a lavender dress it would show
And when he gave her his ring
For him she'd do anything
He used to call her Wild Iris
If you said don't, she would
He had a love for her pure as diamonds
Back when good times were really good
Every night they would run
And from behind the law would soon come
She'd hold on to him so tight
And they'd disappear into the night
He used to call her Wild Iris
If you said don't, she would
She had a love for him pure as diamonds
Back when good times were really good
Now she's eighty and he's gone
To her grandkids she's always been old
But in her mind she's with him
Forever young, chasing the wind
He used to call her Wild Iris
If you said don't, she would
They had a love so fine, pure as diamonds
Back when good times were really good
