"Wildwood Flower" (or "The Wildwood Flower") is an American song, best known through performances and recordings by the Carter Family. It is a folk song, cataloged as Roud Folk Song Index No. 757. == History == "Wildwood Flower" is a variant of the song "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets ).〕 published in 1860 by composer Joseph Philbrick Webster, who wrote the music, with lyrics attributed to (Maud Irving ). Other versions of the song have evolved, including "The Pale Amaranthus" (collected in Kentucky and North Carolina, reported in 1911),〔 The underlying Shearin and Combs texts with the full lyrics have been lost.〕 "Raven Black Hair" and "The Pale Wildwood Flower" (collected 1915–1919), and "The Frail Wildwood Flower".〔("Wildwood Flower - Version 3 Brown Collection" ), (''Bluegrass Messengers'' ), retrieved 18 September 2013.〕 The original Carter Family first recorded "Wildwood Flower" in 1928 on the Victor label. Maybelle Carter leads a rendition of the song on the 1972 album ''Will the Circle be Unbroken'', and frequently performed the song in concert with Johnny Cash and on his ''The Johnny Cash Show''. The Carter version of the song is considered the premier example of "the Carter Scratch", a form of acoustic guitar playing in which the musician (in the case of the Carters, most notably Maybelle herself) plays both the melody and rhythm lines simultaneously. Woody Guthrie used the tune of "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets" for the verses of his song "The Sinking of the Reuben James", although he added a chorus to the song.〔 via the Internet Archive.〕 The original poem (if any) from which the lyrics derived has been lost. Other poems attributed to the reputed author of the lyrics, Maud Irving, may be found in periodicals of the time, including ''Godey's Lady's Book''〔.〕 and ''(Home Monthly. )'' Several of the poems in the latter periodical carry bylines indicating that the ''Maud Irving'' of those poems was a pseudonym for poet and spiritualist (J. William Van Namee. )〔(''The Mystery of Maud Irving'' ), retrieved 20 September 2013.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wildwood Flower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
