Lyrics[]
Little girl, you are safe with me
I can protect what's mine
I am a sturdy maple tree
And you're my clinging vine
Woods are just full of maple trees
Cedar and oak and pine
Let me look them over please
And then I'll let you know
If you have a show
After I have looked around
The world for a mate
Then perhaps, I might fall back on you
When I am convinced
That there is no better fate
Then I might decide that you will do
I am just an average lad
Though no gift to womanhood
Some girls say I'm not so bad
Others say you're not so good
But if you are patient dear
And willing to wait
There's a chance I might fall back on you
