Sweet Fern 
Sweet Fern 
(A.P. Carter) 
Springtime is coming, sweet lonesome bird Your echo in tile woodland I hear Dawn in the meadow so lonesome,you are singing While the moonlight is shining so clear I know he's away in a far distant land A land that is over the sea Go fly to him singing your sweet little: song; And tell him to come back to me 
cho: Sweet Fern! Sweet Fern! 
Oh tell me is my darling still true Sweet Fern! Sweet Fern! I'll be just as happy as you. 
Oh tell me sweet Fern, is he thinking of me And the promise he made long ago He said he'd return, from over the sea Oh why do the years roll so slow I know he's away in a far distant land A land that is over the sea Go fly to him singing your sweet little song And tell him to come back to me 
Upon my finger he placed a small ring On the day he was leaving his home I promised I'd be his own dear little girl I'd love him wherever he roamed But I know he's away in a far distant land A land that is over the sea Go fly to him singing your sweet little song And tell him to come back to me!
