Originally it was a “parlor song,” a quiet tune meant for amateur performance in the drawing rooms of Victorian homes, often sung to amuse people’s guests or just themselves. It is usually credited as having its lyrics written by Maud Irving and its music by Joseph Philbrick Webster. (Webster would also compose the Christian standard “In the Sweet By and By.”) It is believed “Wildwood Flower” was written in 1860 and may have drawn its melody—like much early American country music—from an old Scottish or Irish folk song.
Despite having been “written,” most songs of that time only endured due to an oral tradition.
