Lyrics
[Intro]
All over, the little children, say
A-one, two, three, a-one, two, three
[Verse 1]
I'm goin' down to the house in the woods
See my little darlin'
Yeah, I'm goin' down, out in the fields
And summertime comin'
[Chorus]
And oh, my love, what can I do
What can I do but love you?
For the rest of my days, rest of my nights
What can I do but love you, babe?
[Verse 2]
Summertime falls on a house in the woods
Back by the power line
I ain't got a neighbor for nine or ten miles
Back in the tall pines
[Chorus]
And hey now, baby, what can I do?
What am I gonna do but trust you?
For the rest of my nights, rest of my days
What can I do but love you, babe?
[Verse 3]
Hey now, baby
And what am I gon' do?
Rest of my days, rest of my life
Chasin' 'round after you
[Verse 4]
Drive an old car down an old dirt road
Bring me a little somethin'
I'm goin' down to the house in the woods
Gonna see my little baby
[Chorus]
Hey, hey now, baby, what can I do?
What am I gonna do but love you?
The rest of my days, rest of my nights
What can I do but love you, babe?
