She said come and take me in a field of rye 

Take me in my youth, not when I'm old and dry 

For the days are too short in time I am cold 

She said come and take me while I am still young 



She said lay your hand upon my heart to dread 

Wrap me in your arms and take me to my bed 

For time it won't wait and soon is too late 

She said come and take me while I am still young 



Take me in the spring time 

With my breasts firm, when my eyes shine 

When I'm the object of mad desire 

Half a woman and half a child 



She said come and take me while I am in bed 

When my hair is black and I'm full of love 

Take me if you please, time flies on the breeze 

She said come and take me while I am still young 



Take me in the spring time 

With my breasts firm, when my eyes shine 

When I'm the object of mad desire 

Half a woman and half a child
