I'm goin' down to the house in the woods
See my little darlin'
I'm goin' down, out in the fields
With summertime comin'
Oh my love, what can I do
What can I do but love you?
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
What can I do but love you?
Summertime falls on the house in the woods
Back by the power lines
I ain't got a neighbor for nine or ten miles
Back in the tall pines
And hey, now baby, what can I do?
What am I goin' to do but trust you?
The rest of my nights, the rest of my days
What can I do but love you?
Hey now baby, what can I do?
What am I goin' to do but love you
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
What could I do but love you?
