When the Springtime Comes Again The Carter Family

[Verse 1]
Once more, little Annie, I must leave you
We shall part at the end of the lane
But promise me, little Annie
You will wait for me till springtime comes again
When the sun shines down on the mountain
And the wild sheep are wandering all alone
When the birds and the bees are a-humming
Makes me think that springtime won't be very long

[Chorus]
When the springtime comes on the mountain
And the wild flowers scattered o'er the plain
I shall watch for the leaves to return to their trees
And I'll be waiting when the springtime comes again
Yodel-ay-ee, ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee-hee-oh-lay-ee

[Verse 2]
Now springtime is here, little Annie
I am on my way back to the lane
For you promised me, little Annie
You'd be waiting when the springtime comes again

[Chorus]
