Come Away Melinda - Bobbie Gentry

作曲：Fred Hellerman/Fran Minkoff

Mommy mommy come and look

See what I have found

A little way away from here

While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door

It's nothing but a picture book

They had before the war

Mommy mommy come and see

Oh mommy come and look

There's five or six Melinda girls

Inside this picture book

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door

There were lots of little girls like you

Before they had the war

Mommy mommy come and see

Oh mommy hurry do

There's someone grown up very tall

Who doesn't look like you

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door

Your father was a man like him

Before they had the war

Mommy mommy come and see

Such things I've never seen

There's happy faces all around

Now the ground is green

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door

That's just the way it used to be

Before they had the war
