When I was a young boy and drove my mother wildI met a maiden in the woods and she said,Child, deep into my green eyes and at my heart of landWhen you're a man you'll never see a girl quite as fairRemember me, oh remember meRemember for the rest of your lifeHer eyes were green as glass and blue, looking right at meHer hair was red and grown with leaves just like a lot of treesAnd she pulled me with a tiny hand and she made a little turnShe swayed in the wind just like a graceful birdI swore when she vanished that when I was a young boyI'd have a girl just like her to be my very ownAnd I am a man and I'd marry if I couldBut I can't live without a girlRemember me, oh remember meRemember for the rest of your life
