Out of The Woods

Description


Over The Forest
And Through The Woods!
TO GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE I WENT!

When I Lowered
My Little Red Hood
I KNEW MY TIME WAS WELL SPENT!

For Over That Forest
And Through Those Trees
I SAW THIS GLORIOUS SIGHT.

The Blue-Green Waters
The Gentle Breeze
I KNEW I WOULD BE ALRIGHT!
