Best Of Roger Miller

See her dancing, see there willie,
See how reckless she lives,
She's a wild one, as everyone knows,
Why, what's wrong willie?, you're crying,
Oh what have l done?
Sorry willie, l didn't know you didn't know

L wouldn't have said all those things if l'd known
That she was your sweetheart, your sweetheart,
Your own.

Don't ask how well l know her,
L might lie l don't know,
Sorry willie, l didn't know you didn't know

(repeat 2nd verse)

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in switzerland
Yo lo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely
Yo ho ho ho

Day after day she'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay

Some folks like the summertime when they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green it's fun there's no doubt
But give me the wintertime when snow falls all around
For i found her when the snow was on the ground

Well i traced them footprints in the snow
I traced the footprints in the snow
I can't forget the day my darling lost her way
And i found her when the snow was on the ground


Well i dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out be returnin' soon
I found her little footprints and i traced them thru the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground

Well i traced them footprints in the snow
I traced the footprints in the snow
I can't forget the day my darling lost her way
And i found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in heaven she's with an angel band
I know i gonna meet her in that promised land
But every time the snow falls it brings back memories
For i found her when the snow was on the ground

(you don't want my love)

In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, i'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love ...
Some other time, that's what you say, when i want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'cause you don't want my love.

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, i'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love.

Once upon a time, you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me, but now you don't
'cause you don't want my love ...
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now you don't have time for me
'cause you don't want my love.

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, i'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love.

Your world was so different from mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in, wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in, wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide
