Lyrics
Summer Country Lady
Summer Country Lady
Came a-dancing through my day
I winked an eye and lost her
She went waltzing through the hay
There she’d be
There she’d be
Though I’d love her for my own
She’s better barefoot, smiling, and free
She lives a life alone
In her cabin on the plain
She climbs a garden tree
Picking apples in the rain
There she’d be
There she’d be
With a ruby bottle waiting
For a traveller, for a story, for a dream
You might offer her a diamond
You might do it on your knees
But aurora borealis
Is the only light she needs
There she’d be
In the cool north night
There she’d be
You’d do anything to please her
She points you to the sky and then you see
Summer Country Lady
Came a-dancing through my day
I winked an eye and lost her
She went waltzing through the hay
There she’d be
There she’d be
Though I’d love her for my own
She’s better barefoot, smiling, and free
