Jimmie Rodgers - The Girl in the Wood Lyrics

Remember me oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Well when I was a young man
And drove my mother wild
Well I met a girl out in the woods
She's a child
Deep into my green eyes
And at my auburn hair
And tell me have you ever seen a maiden quite so fair

Remember me oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Well her eyes were green like glassy pools
Looking right at me
And her hair was red and blown with leaves
Just like an autumn tree
She raised her tiny hands
And gave a little turn
Then swayed in the breeze
Just like a graceful fern

Remember me oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Well I swore when she vanished
That when I was full grown
That I would have a girl like her to be my very own
Now I am a man
And I'd marry if I could
But I'll never lose memory off the girl out in the woods

Remember me oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
Remember me oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
