[verse 1]
love came by from the river smoke
while the leaves were fresh on the trees
but i cut my heart on a blackjack oak
before they fell on me

[verse 2]
the leaves are green in the early spring
they are brown as linsey now
i did not ask for a wedding ring
from the wind in the bending bough

[verse 3]
fall lightly, lightly, leaves of the wild
fall lightly on my care
i am not the first to go with child
because of the blowing air

[verse 4]
good girls sleep in their modesty
bad girls sleep in their shame
but i must sleep in the blackjack oak
’til my child can have a name

[verse 5]
cold and cold and cold again
cold on the blackjack limb
the winds of the wild for his sponsor men
and a bird to christen him
[verse 6]
he’s gonna act like a hound let loose
when he comes from that blackjack tree
and he’s gonna walk in proud shoes
all over tennessee
all over tennessee
