Girl in the Wood

Remember me, oh, remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Well, when I was a young man

And drove my mother wild

Well, I met a girl out in the wood

And she said "Child

Look deep into my green eyes

And at my auburn hair

And tell me, have you ever seen

A maiden quite so fair?"

Remember me, oh, remember me

Oh, remember for the rest of your life

(Remember)

Well, her eyes were green like grassy pools

A-lookin' right at me

And her hair was red and blown with leaves

Just like an autumn tree

She raised her tiny hands

And gave a little turn

Then swayed in the breeze

Just like a graceful fern

Remember me, oh, remember me

Oh, remember for the rest of your life

(Remember)

Well, I swore when she vanished

That when I was full-grown

That I would have a girl like her

To be my very own

Now I am a man

And I'd marry if I could

But I'll never lose the memory

Of the girl out in the wood

Remember me, oh, remember me

Oh, remember for the rest of your life

Remember me, oh, remember me

Remember for the rest of your life
