Seven winters past and gone,
I once was young and I once was strong
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

Six fine times I felt my knees
buckle to your sweet release
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

Five times tried to conjure you,
a letter or a note or clue
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

And I'm gonna tell everybody I know
that I'm glad to see you
And I'm gonna tell everybody I know
that I'm glad to see you
even though [bad word] home in a Box of Cedar

For four year you courted I
your raven hair your brittle bride
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

Three more times I tried to find
lover to match your sweet kind
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

And I'm gonna tell everybody I know
that I'm glad to see you
And I'm gonna tell everbody I know
that I'm glad to see you
even though [bad word] home in a Box of Cedar

La da da

One am I to fill these rooms
and wake each morn to the drone of doom
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

Seven winters past and gone
I once was young and I once was strong
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
