lyrics

little girl in the woods gathering berries
nothing to be scared of cause the woods aint scary
little country girl pretty as could be
sittin in the shade of the evergreen tree

sitting just waitin for dad to come home
daddy went away he left her all alone
yeah he went to fight on the deep blue sea
oh daddy just please dont forget about me

she was wondering:
will he ever come back
will he ever come back to me
will he ever come back
he's the only one I wanna see
will i ever see him again

little girl moved to the big city
forsook the shade of the evergreen tree
didn't fit in with the big skyscrapers
but she still traded her life
for plastic and papers

all the while wondering:
would he ever go back
could ever go back
did he ever go back to that lonely place
would he ever go back
can he recall my face
will i ever see him again

daddy come back yeah back from the war
had just one thing he was looking for
couldn't find the girl pretty as could be
so he rest in the shade of the evergreen tree

sitting just waitin for her to come home
daughter went away she left him all alone
yeah she went to live in the big city
oh honey just please don't forget about me

he was wondering:
will she ever come back
will she ever come back to me
will she ever come back
she's the only one i wanna see
will i ever see her again

woman come back from the big city
she found the shade of the evergreen tree
she sat right down there, right there in the shade
and she was sitting next to her daddy's grave

she was still wondering:
will he ever come back
will he ever come back to me
will he ever come back
he's the only one i wanna see

she'll never see him again
