The Girl In The Wood

Oh when I was a young boy

And drove my mother wild

I met a maiden in the woods

And she said child



Look deep into my green eyes

And at my autumn hair

When your a man you'll never see a girl

Quite as fair



Remember me oh remember me



Her eyes were green as grassy pools

Lookin right at me

Her hair was red and grown with leaves

Just like an autumn tree



She moved her tiny hands

And she made a litle turn

She swayed in the wind

Just like a graceful fern



I swore as she vanished

That when I was full grown

I'd have a girl just like her

To be my very own



And now I am a man

And I'd marry if I could

But I can't lose the memory

Of the girl in the wood



Remember me oh remember me



Remember for the rest of your life



I wished a hundred times

That she'd never looked at me

With the first wild beauty

They only you'd can't see



For man cannot find it

When he's lookin' for a wife

And he'll end up in bachelor hood

The rest of his life

Remember me oh remember me



Remember for the rest of your life



Remember for the rest of your life
