1
(Anna McCarrigle)
2
There where no cuckoos, no sycamores
3
We played about the forest floor
4
Underneath the silver maples, the balsams and the sky
5
We popped the heads off dandelions
6
Assuming roles from nursery rhymes
7
Rested on the riverbank
8
And grew up by and by, and grew up by and by
9
Frail my heart apart
10
And play me a little shady grove
11
Ring the bells of rhymney
12
Till they ring inside my head forever
13
Bounce the bow, rock the gallows
14
For the hangman's reel
15
And wake the devil from his dream
16
I'm going back to Harlan
17
I'm going back to Harlan
18
I'm going back to Harlan
19
And if you were Willie Moore
20
And I was Barbara Allen
21
Or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door
22
A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love
23
A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love
