Lyrics:

Beside a Singin' Mountain Stream Where the Willow grew Where the Silver Leaf of Maple Sparkled in the Mornin' Dew I braided Twigs of Willows Made a String of Buckeye Beads; But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need. I leaned against a Bark of Birch And I breathed the Honey Dew I saw a North-bound Flock of Geese Against a Sky of Baby Blue Beside the Lily Pads I carved a Whistle from a Reed; Mother Nature's quite a Lady But you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need. A Cardinal sang just for me And I thanked him for the Song Then the Sun went slowly down the West And I had to move along These were some of the things On which my Mind and Spirit feed; But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need. [Spoken:] So when this Day was ended I was still not satisfied For I knew ev'rything I touched Would wither and would die And Love is all that will remain And grow from all these Seed; [Sung:] Mother Nature's quite a Lady But you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need.
