| 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 |
