Here I sit and wait for you 'Neath the spreading branches. Cool the grass with shade and dew, Sunlight round me dances. Hei, lu lia lia la, loud my voice is ringing, Hei, lu lia lia la, songs to you I'm singing.
Fall is in the air today, Hear the wild geese crying. Don't delay come while you may, Snow will soon be flying. Hei, lu lia lia la, loud my voice is ringing, Hei, lu lia lia la, songs to you I'm singing.
