Sweet Fern |
| Springtime is coming, sweet lonesome bird |
| Your echo in the woodland I hear |
| Down in the meadow so lonesome you’re singing |
| While the moonlight is shining so clear |
| But I know he’s away in a far distant land |
| A land that is over the sea |
| Go fly to him singing your sweet little song |
| And tell him to come back to me |
| Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) |
| Oh, tell me, is my darling still true |
| Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) |
| I’ll be just as happy as you |
| Well, a-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| Well, a-lee-ho-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| Yeah, lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh |
| Lee-oh-lay-ee |
| Oh, tell me, sweet Fern, is he thinking of me |
| And the promise he made long ago |
| He said he’d return from over the sea |
| Oh, why do the earth roll so slow |
| But I know he’s away in a far distant land |
| A land that is over the sea |
| Go fly to him singing your sweet little song |
| And tell him to come back to me |
| Upon my finger he placed a small ring |
| On the day he was leaving his home |
| I promised I’d be his own dear little girl |
| And love him wherever he’d roam |
