Cottonwood creek song


cottonwood creek

1.
theres a dairy maid
with chestnut brown eyes
and skin burnt from working
beneith the great clear blue skies
with her hair so dark
and such rosy cheeks
she lives on the banks
of the Cottonwood Creek

as fresh as the fountain
as strong as the mountain
she made me happy
though i stayed but a week

and as i travel afar
over wild rolling seas
i'll remember my sweetheart of
Cottonwood Creek

2.
our lives are a dance
to a strange melody
played by players unknown
and who no-one can see
as i followed the steps
i found that my feet
had led me to the banks
of the Cottonwood Creek

though our meeting was brief
our love was deep
full of moments of sadness
and passionate heat

as the mystical dance
sweeps me far away
i'll remember my sweetheart
of Cottonwood Creek
