(Remember me, remember me)
(Remember for the rest of your life)

Oh, when I was a young boy
And drove my mother wild
I met a maiden in the woods
And she - set 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

Remember me, oh, remember me
(Remember for the rest of your life)

Her eyes were green as grassy pools
Lookin' right at me
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

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
Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

I wished a hundred times
Tthat 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 lookin' for a wife
And he'll end up in batch'lorhood
The rest of his life

Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
Remember me, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
