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 you're a man you'll never see
 a girl quite as fair".
 Chorus:
 remember me
 remember me
 remember me
 for the rest of your life.
 Her eyes were green as grassy pools
 looking right at me,
 and 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.
 Chorus
 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 mem'ry
 of the girl in the wood.
 Chorus
 I've wished a hundred times
 that she'd never looked at me.
 with the first wild beauty
 that only youth can see,
 for a man cannot find it
 when he's looking for a wife,
 and he'll end up in bachelorhood
 the rest of his life.
 Chorus
