Roamin' 
Through the Countryside  

Roamin' through the countryside

walkin' in the clover . . . 

makin' love and playin' in 

the warm winds of summer

 

Back at home when I was young 

I could hardly wait . . .

'till Sunday came and my true love 

would meet me at the gate

 

And we'd go . . .

 

Roamin' through the countryside

walkin' in the clover . . . 

makin' love and playin' in 

the warm winds of summer

 

[ repeat verse ]

 

[ instrumental break ]

 

We'd stop an' pick some daffodils 

an' then we'd talk a while . . .

when I'd ask her for a kiss 

she'd look at me an' smile

 

And we'd go . . .

 

Roamin' through the countryside

walkin' in the clover . . . 

makin' love and playin' in 

the warm winds of summer!

 

[ repeat verse ]

 

[ instrumental break ]

 

Those carefree days have come an' gone 

now she is my bride . . .

and every Sunday afternoon 

I'd take her by my side

 

And we'd go . . .

 

Roamin' through the countryside

walkin' in the clover . . . 

makin' love and playin' in 

the warm winds of summer!

 

Roamin' through the countryside

walkin' in the clover . . . 

makin' love and playin' in 

the warm . . . 

winds of summer ( summer, summer! )
