The original poem (if any) from which the lyrics derived has been lost. 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. 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. 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 original Carter Family first recorded "Wildwood Flower" in 1928 on the Victor label. ![]() A record of the Carter Family's "Wildwood Flower" ![]()
