Lyrics Springfield Mountain - Woody Guthrie

Springfield Mountain

On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
A lovely youth I knowed him well
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo
This lovely youth one day did go
Down to the meadom for to mow
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo
He scarce had mowed quite round the field
When a crul serpent bit his heel
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo
They took him home to molly dear
Which made him feel so very gueer
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo
Now Molly had two ruby lips
With which the poison she did sip
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo
Now Molly had a rotting tooth
And so the poison killed them both
