Springtime is coming, sweet lonesome bird |
| [00:12.04] |
Your echo in the woodland I hear |
| [00:15.44] |
Down in the meadow so lonesome you're singing |
| [00:19.57] |
While the moonlight is shining so clear |
| [00:22.71] |
|
| [00:23.09] |
But I know he's away in a far distant land |
| [00:27.17] |
A land that is over the sea |
| [00:30.51] |
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song |
| [00:34.65] |
And tell him to come back to me |
| [00:37.85] |
|
| [00:38.18] |
Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) |
| [00:42.18] |
Oh, tell me, is my darling still true |
| [00:45.89] |
Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) |
| [00:49.69] |
I'll be just as happy as you |
| [00:53.01] |
|
| [00:53.44] |
Well, a-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [00:57.22] |
Well, a-lee-ho-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [01:01.47] |
Yeah, lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh |
| [01:05.42] |
Lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [01:07.76] |
|
| [01:08.01] |
Oh, tell me, sweet Fern, is he thinking of me |
| [01:11.78] |
And the promise he made long ago |
| [01:15.18] |
He said he'd return from over the sea |
| [01:19.14] |
Oh, why do the earth roll so slow |
| [01:22.47] |
|
| [01:22.77] |
I know he's away in a far distant land |
| [01:26.63] |
A land that is over the sea |
| [01:29.98] |
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song |
| [01:33.90] |
And tell him to come back to me |
| [01:36.99] |
|
| [01:52.00] |
Well, a-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [01:55.84] |
Well, a-lee-ho-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [02:00.34] |
Yeah, lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh |
| [02:03.43] |
Lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [02:05.96] |
|
| [02:06.27] |
Upon my finger he placed a small ring |
| [02:09.51] |
On the day he was leaving his home |
| [02:13.00] |
I promised I'd be his own dear little girl |
| [02:16.65] |
And love him wherever he'd roam |
| [02:20.24] |
|
| [02:20.49] |
But I know he's away in a far distant land |
| [02:24.31] |
A land that is over the sea |
| [02:27.47] |
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song |
| [02:31.36] |
And tell him to come back to me |
| [02:34.63] |
|
| [02:34.88] |
Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) |
| [02:38.78] |
Oh, tell me, is my darling still true |
| [02:42.12] |
Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) Sweet Fern (Sweet Fern) |
| [02:45.94] |
I'll be just as happy as you |
| [02:49.40] |
|
| [02:49.78] |
Well, a-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [02:53.29] |
Well, a-lee-ho-lee-oh-lay-ee |
| [02:57.80] |
Yeah, lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh |
| [03:00.89] |
Lee-oh-lay-ee |
