(verse)
Spring time is comin' sweet lonesome bird
Ur echo in the woodland I hear
Down in the meadow so lonesome ur singin'
While the moonlight is shinin' so clear

(Pre-Chorus)
But I know he's away in a far distant land
A land that is ova the sea
Go fly to him singin' ur sweet lil song
And tell him to come back to me

(Chorus)
Sweet Fern(Sweet Fern), Sweet Fern(Sweet Fern)
Oh tell me, is my darlin' still true?
Sweet Fern(Sweet Fern), Sweet Fern(Sweet Fern)
I'll be just as happy as u

(Verse 2)
Oh tell me sweet fern, is he thinkin' of me
And the promise he made long ago
He said he'd return from ova the sea
Oh why do the years go so slow

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Upon my finger he placed a small ring
On the day he was leavin' his home
I promised I'd be his own dear lil girl
And love him whereva he'd roam

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)
