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 Grassy 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
