The Carter Family - When the Springtime Comes Again lyrics

[Verse 1] Once more, little Annie, I must leave you We shall part at the end of the lane But promise me, little Annie You will wait for me till springtime comes again When the sun shines down on the mountain And the wild sheep are wandering all alone When the birds and the bees are a-humming Makes me think that springtime won't be very long [Chorus] When the springtime comes on the mountain And the wild flowers scattered o'er the plain I shall watch for the leaves to return to their trees And I'll be waiting when the springtime comes again Yodel-ay-ee, ah-lee-oh-lay-ee Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh-lay-ee [Verse 2] Now springtime is here, little Annie I am on my way back to the lane For you promised me, little Annie You'd be waiting when the springtime comes again [Chorus]
