The Girl In The Wood

The Girl in the Wood - Cisco Houston

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 remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Her eyes were green as grassy pools

Looking 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 little turn

She swayed in the wind

Just like a graceful fern

Remember me remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

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 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

Thay only you'd can't see

For man cannot find it

When he's looking for a wife

And he'll end up in bachelor hood

The rest of his life

Remember me remember me

Remember for the rest of your life
