Subject: History req. 'Follow Me To The Forest'
I found this wonderful song on the webite of Lady Siobhan at IUMA, and I wondered if any Mudcatters out there know of the history of the song? Or what the original is?

She lists "Follow Me to the Forest--An acappella invitation to enjoy the woods and your lover. Based on an Eastern European folksong." as her song description.

Here are the lyrics:




Forest Enchanted

What is this longing
Longing inside me?
My spirit yearns for beauty
Beauty of the Lady.

Follow me to the Forest
Forest Enchanted
My spirit yearns for beauty
Beauty of the Lady.

Hear the woods beckon
Beckon so strongly:
My fey heart hears and and answers
Answers their calling

Follow me to the Forest
Forest Enchanted
My fey heart hears and and answers
Answers their calling

Come and wrap your arms
Your arms around me:
Lay me down beneath the green and
Show me how you love me

Follow me to the Forest
Forest Enchanted
Lay me down beneath the green and
Show me how you love me




I should probably ask her, but Mudcat is easier.

So, does someone have the info?

Thanks,
