Rain or shine you'd see her standing on the corner
Standing with her basket selling flowers every day
Her clothes were slightly tattered and her toes peep through her shoes
And as you pass her you could hear say
Please buy my flowers my pretty little flowers
Please buy my flowers before they fade and die
I'd walk by each morning to buy her pretty flowers
And like a ray of sunshine her smile would light my day
One day she was missing now I know the reason why
Now I cry because I'll never hear her say
Please buy my flowers...
High upon a hillside where nothing more can harm her
Here's a lovely little girl that I still visit every day
And by her side I place roses that blossom in the sun
Every time I do I still can hear her say
