“Wildwood Flower” (or “I’ll Twine ‘Mid the Ringlets”) was written by Joseph Philbrick Webster and Maud Irving in 1860. The Carter Family popularized the tune, led by Maybelle Carter on their 1928 recording, utilizing her famous Carter Scratch technique. The song has also been recorded and performed by artists including Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, the Stanley Brothers, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Pete Seeger, and many more.
This video is filmed on a tenor ukulele, though you could also play this arrangement on a concert or soprano ukulele. I’ve developed my own lead sheet (link below) which includes the tab, notation, and chords for this song. This song uses several easy no-barre ukulele chords, including F, G, and C. If you’ve been looking to get started playing popular tunes or acoustic classics on your ukulele, this is a great introduction. The video lesson gives you an opportunity to practice playing the chords while singing, as well as showing you an easy fingering for how to play the melody. Happy strumming and, as always, comment below if you have any questions!
