the highwaymen (folk) - the turtle dove lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
(i’d like to introduce ann morrill
who is the wife of my ex+biology professor at college
i went over to, uh, dr. morrill’s house one evening to study
and ended up singing folk songs with his wife
we’d like to do one now)

[verse 1]
poor little turtle dove
sittin’ in a pine
mournin’ for her own true love
so why not me for mine?
why not me for mine?

[verse 2]
i’m not gonna marry in the fall
i’m gonna marry in the spring
i’m gonna marry a pretty little girl
who wears a big gold ring
who wears a big gold ring

[verse 3]
i went up on the mountain
to give my h+rn a blow
every girl in the countryside
said, “yonder goes my beau”
“yonder goes my beau”
[verse 4]
i’ve got hogs in the pen
corn to feed ’em on
all i need is a pretty little girl
to feed ’em when i’m gone
to feed ’em when i’m gone

[verse 5]
poor little turtle dove
sittin’ in a pine
mournin’ for her own true love
why not me for mine?
why not me for mine?
