There is a girl so tender and fair
Blue ribbons and roses in her hair
Once upon a time this lady was mine
But now she has long since departed

Two rivers that once were one
Our love had only just begun
But we'll meet again eventually
All rivers must meet in the sea

Oh my lady please remember me
Running through forests so wild and free
Picking wildflowers for you I'd sing
Oh my lady we loved in the Spring

Two rivers that once were one
Our love had only just begun
But we'll meet again eventually
All rivers must meet in the sea
