Sweet Fern

Sweet Fern - Homer And Jethro

Springtime is coming sweet lonesome bird

Your voice in the woodland i hear

Down in the meadow so sweetly you're singing

While the moonlight is shining so clear

But i know she's away in a far distant land

A land that is over the sea

Go fly to her singing your sweet little song

And tell her to come back to me

Sweet fern sweet fern sweet fern bad bird

Oh tell me is my darling still true

Sweet fern sweet fern sweet fern bad bird

I'll be just as happy as you

Oh tell me sweet fern is she thinking of me

And the promise she made the years ago

She said she'd return from over the sea

Oh why do the earth roll so slow

But i know she's away in a far distant land

A land that is over the sea

Go fly to her singing your sweet little song

And tell her to come back to me

Sweet fern sweet fern sweet fern bad bird

Oh tell me is my darling still true

Sweet fern sweet fern sweet fern bad bird

I'll be just as happy as you
