Griselda - Yo La Tengo

Come won't you walk with me Griselda

Wearing the dress that moonlight shines through

I am a sad and lonely boy

Since your mother said I couldn't see you

Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

Calling to the moon out yonder

O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

And lead me to my Griselda

Do you recall last night Griselda?

Learning the lessons nature taught us

Watching the fish jump in the lake

It was lovely till your mother caught us

Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

Calling to the moon out yonder

O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

And lead me to my Griselda

Moonflower vines upon the window

Give me a foothold for my finding

I've got a row boat on the lake

Fishing around and all the sun was shining

Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

Calling to the moon out yonder

O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

And lead me to my Griselda

I've got a jug of wine Griselda

Why must you waste your time in sorrow?

Hold out your hand;

have no fear

If were caught, I'll marry you tomorrow

Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

Calling to the moon out yonder

O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

And lead me to my Griselda

Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

Calling to the moon out yonder

O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

And lead me to my Griselda
