It was there beneath the fig tree a lady oh so fair
She wore no ring around her finger, flowers in her hair
And I knew at the moment I looked into her eye
That her hand would fit gently in mine beat side by side
Between the wood and the river my beloved I did find
As we danced among the daisies along the riverside
And it's when we walk together I'm as sure as sure could be
'Cause surely there's no other as beautiful as thee
With my basket full of ripe fruit, juicy and so plump
I was singing a sweet bird's song along the root and stump
When I heard beyond the branches crackling [?]
I saw a lad so lovely I offered him a fig
Not a fig I did want nor a moment did I waste
To love this fair maid and kiss her on her face
And to bind ourself as one as we traveled near and far
So that all the folk in all the land knows just who we are
Between the wood and the river my beloved I did find
As we danced among the daisies along the riverside
And it's when we walk together I'm as sure as sure could be
'Cause surely there's no other as beautiful as thee
When I felt his lips upon my face, the warmth inside it grew
I left him to a strong embrace and down the hill we flew
Hand in hand we ran along the banks cattail and fox glove
With flowers all around me I knew I was in love
I have traveled from my home as beauty did I see
A maiden of perfection has captivated me
And here I should rest 'til the end of this life
Marry me, sweet darling girl, and become my wife
Between the wood and the river my beloved I did find
As we danced among the daisies along the riverside
And it's when we walk together I'm as sure as sure could be
'Cause surely there's no other as beautiful as thee
Between the wood and the river my beloved I did find
As we danced among the daisies along the riverside
And it's when we walk together I'm as sure as sure could be
'Cause surely there's no other as beautiful as thee
Between the wood and the river my beloved I did find
As we danced among the daisies along the riverside
And it's when we walk together I'm as sure as sure could be
'Cause surely there's no other as beautiful as thee
