On Springfield Mountain


Melody -

USA ~1850

1. On Springfield Mountain, I once knew,
A lad so handsome, of twenty two,
He had a girlfriend, neat and trim,
And as he loved her, she loved him.

Ray gu to roo nee ay, gu tu roo nee ay,
Gu tu roo nee ay, gu tu ro.

2. Once he was angling by a creek,
A serpent bit him upon his cheek,
His girlie tried with gentle sips
To drain the pizen with her lips.

Ray gu to roo nee ay, gu tu roo nee ay,
Gu tu roo nee ay, gu tu ro.

3. To close the story I am loath,
Alas the pizen took care of both,
So goes a true love, live or die,
On Springfield Mountain there they lie!

Ray gu to roo nee ay, gu tu roo nee ay,
Gu tu roo nee ay, gu tu ro.
