"Erika With The Windy Yellow Hair" by Peter, Paul & Mary

(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 

Today she had a song to sing and a poem she knew
And with a kiss and a hug she 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 of the windy yellow hair
