None of them
D
Springtime is coming, sweet lonesome bird,
A A7 D
your echo in the woodland I hear.
Down in the meadow so lonesome your singing,
A A7 D
while the moonlight is shining so clear.
G D
But I know he's away in a far distant land,
A D
a land that is over the sea.
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song.
A A7 D
and tell him to come back to me.
D
Sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern,
A A7 D
oh tell me, is my darling still true.
Sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern,
A A7 D
I'll be just as happy as you.
D
Oh, tell me sweet fern, is he thinking of me,
A A7 D
and the promise he made long ago.
He said he'd return from over the sea,
A A7 D
oh why do the years roll so slow.
G D
I know he's away in a far distant land,
A D
a land that is over the sea.
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song.
A A7 D
and tell him to come back to me.
D
Sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern,
A A7 D
oh tell me, is my darling still true.
Sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern,
A A7 D
I'll be just as happy as you.
D
Upon my finger he placed a small ring
A A7 D
on the day he was leaving his home .
I promised I'd be his own little girl,
A A7 D
and love him wherever he'd roam.
G D
I know he's away in a far distant land,
A D
a land that is over the sea.
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song.
A A7 D
and tell him to come back to me.
D
Sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern,
A A7 D
oh tell me, is my darling still true.
Sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern, sweet fern,
A A7 D
I'll be just as happy as you.
