Woody Guthrie - Springfield Mountain Lyrics




Send Springfield Mountain Ringtone to your Cell

On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
A lovely youth I knowed him well.

Too roo de nay, too roo de noo

This lovely youth one day did go
Down to the meadom for to mow.

Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.

He scarce had mowed quite round the field
When a crul serpent bit his heel.

Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.

They took him home to molly dear
Which made him feel so very gueer.

Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.

Now Molly had two ruby lips
With which the poison she did sip.

Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.

Now Molly had a rotting tooth,
And so the poison killed them both.

I am 73 years old and I learned this song from my grandfather when I was a child. It was a song about a maid, though, and her boyfriend Dan. "'pon Springfield mountain there did dwell a lovely maid I knew full well,
Humble Bumble snigger-eyed bum, knows I linksome boozy.
She had a feller whose name was Dan, and oh my how she loved that man." etc., etc.

There is also a story about this couple which I will gladly share, should anyone be interested.
