I'm just a fool for april There's nothing more to say Long as I can remember She's led my heart astray When I was green as willow She had me ditchin' school And even then she tricked me I'm just an april fool
She tangles dogwood blossoms Into her yellow hair She uses the same perfume The smoky mountains wear She keeps the flame of summer 'round her neck like a jewel She breezes in to see me And I'm an april fool
She entrances me and she dances me And she flies me like a kite And I soon forget she's only come to play Then there comes a day when she will not stay And I lie awake all night Hoping next time april may
When I walked out this morning April had up and gone And it clear as water She'd only led me on And it will be next winter Before my heels will cool And then I will forgive her I'm just an april fool She knows I will forgive her I'm just an april fool
