the girl in the wood - cisco houston lyrics

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 gr-ssy 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
