I met a girl down in the hills that gave my lonely heart a thrill

Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring

And when I looked into her eyes I thought it blue as a summer skies

And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wondering wondering if you'll love her

Will she marry marry if you'll ask her

Will her heart be heart be true for him for then and evermore

And when she's lonely lonely is he near her

When there's sadness sadness will her cheer her

Will they always always be together until the day they part



I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed

We planned on being married in the spring

All through the long cold winter months it seemed that spring would never come

And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of waiting waiting for the flowers and of counting counting every hour

Till the bluebirds till the bluebirds chirps his welcome and tips the world each morn

And though we've waiting for the sunshine we keep hating hating every storm cloud

That has gathered gathered o'er the mountains to keep us for apart

[ guitar - fiddle ]

And when at last spring touched the earth we were married in the village church

Our wedding seems just like a dream come true

So many years have come and gone our love is still as true and strong

As when I found longer ago till the bluebirds sing

They sang of loving loving every hour that I'm married married to my flower

We'll be happy happy ever after as since the day we've met

And though we've older older the love is sweeter we grow fonder fonder to each other

We'll be sweethearts sweethearts close together until the day of time
