(Mary Travers) [Spoken:] Erika with the windy yellow hair Dancing through the day or moping by the stair My joy to know my Erika with the windy yellow hair Yesterday I met her running home from school Her face was tear stained, she didn't know I knew But I do, I do But today she had a song to sing and a poem she knew And with a kiss and a hug she just dashed away, she had things to do I do too, I do too Lithesome child, I turn with care When viewing you on step or stair All my hope and love for you, My Erika with the windy yellow hair
