52. Come away to the woods

1 Away, away, to the woods away,
Where fountains are flowing clear;
Away, away, to the woods away,
And share in our festal cheer.

Refrain:
Come away, come away,
Come away to the woods, away;
Come away, come away,
Come away to the woods, away.

2 'Tis there beneath spreading oak and vine,
We'll sing merry songs of glee;
While soft winds play thro' the giant pine,
Their melodies light and free. [Refrain]

3 With laugh and shout and a merry rout,
We'll spend all the happy day;
And when the bright happy stars come out,
We'll hie to our homes away. [Refrain]
