In the woods of SipseyThe trees are so tall, an unscalable wall So high and green Oh beware in SipseyThere’re snakes on the ground – they move with no sound If you happen to venture in In the woods of SipseyNo lights after dark, except for the stars That hang in space When the air is misty It hovers the glade with shadow and shade It’s a backward, forsaken place! And the mulberry river singswhere the birds still have room for their wingsthey fly… fly…. over my homedown in the woods of SipseyThere’s a path in SipseyThat leads to the graves where my ancestors lay It comforts me Just to know in SipseyA light year from now, in this same hallowed ground I’ll be resting in peaceful sleep And the mulberry river will singwhere the birds still have room for their wingsthey’ll fly…. fly… over my homedown in the woods of Sipsey
