Come to the forest

1 Come to the forest, come away,
From heated cities come today;
With lovely smiles upon your face,
Let us be jolly in this place.

Refrain:
Oh, let us to the forest stray,
And gather flowers there today;
We'll listen to the birdies sing,
While thro' the woods their music rings.

2 Come to the forest and be gay,
And let this be a merry day;
Oh, do not come with sodden hearts,
From all your sorrow now depart. [Refrain]

3 Come out among the trees so green,
Where happy faces can be seen,
And ev'rything is full of cheer,
We'll have a jolly time out here. [Refrain]
