When The Springtime Comes Again - The Carter Family

Once more, little Annie, I must leave you

We shall part at the end of the lane

But promise me, little Annie

You will wait for me till springtime comes again

When the sun shines down on the mountain

And the wild sheep are wandering all alone

When the birds and the bees are a-humming

Makes me think that springtime won’t be very long

When the springtime comes on the mountain

And the wild flowers scattered o’er the plain

I shall watch for the leaves to return to their trees

And I’ll be waiting when the springtime comes again

Yodel-ay-ee, ah-lee-oh-lay-ee

Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh-lay-ee

Now springtime is here, little Annie

I am on my way back to the lane

For you promised me, little Annie

You’d be waiting when the springtime comes again
