When I was a young boy and drove my mother wild
I met a maiden in the woods and she said,
Child, deep into my green eyes and at my heart of land
When you're a man you'll never see a girl quite as fair
Remember me, oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
Her eyes were green as glass and blue, looking right at me
Her hair was red and grown with leaves just like a lot of trees
And she pulled me with a tiny hand and she made a little turn
She swayed in the wind just like a graceful bird
I swore when she vanished that when I was a young boy
I'd have a girl just like her to be my very own
And I am a man and I'd marry if I could
But I can't live without a girl
Remember me, oh remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
