Cisco Houston - The Girl in the Wood 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 gra**y 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
