“Fly away my blue-eyed friend,
Fly away my daisy,
Fly away my blue-eyed friend,
You nearly drive me crazy.

Wish I had a banjo strong,
Strung with golden twine,
And every time Id pluck on it,
Id wish that girl were mine.”

—from the traditional ballad Shady Grove, My Little Love, as found in Lullabies and Poems for Children, selected and edited by Diana Secker Larson, 2002.
