Johnny Cash - The Winding Stream lyrics
[Johnny Cash - The Winding Stream lyrics]
Oh give to me a winding stream
It must not be too wide
Where waving leaves from maple trees
Meet from either side
The water must be deep enough
To float our small canoe
With no one else but you
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
And the splendor of my winding stream
Flower in my canoe her eyes
They looked me through
My maiden fair with golden hair
Is very much like you
The sparkling trout beneath the bank
Does leave his hiding place
Kingfisher there from the bough above
So eager to give chase
The spreading branches overhead the
Sunlight peeping through
When looking down at you
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
And the splendor of that winding stream
Oh flower in my canoe her
Eyes they looked me through
A maiden fair with golden hair
Is very much like you
A maiden fair with golden hair
Is very much like you
It must not be too wide
Where waving leaves from maple trees
Meet from either side
The water must be deep enough
To float our small canoe
With no one else but you
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
And the splendor of my winding stream
Flower in my canoe her eyes
They looked me through
My maiden fair with golden hair
Is very much like you
The sparkling trout beneath the bank
Does leave his hiding place
Kingfisher there from the bough above
So eager to give chase
The spreading branches overhead the
Sunlight peeping through
When looking down at you
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
And the splendor of that winding stream
Oh flower in my canoe her
Eyes they looked me through
A maiden fair with golden hair
Is very much like you
A maiden fair with golden hair
Is very much like you
