[🍀I created these Silas ballads for my grandson who loves adventures !] [Verse 1] Red-haired Silas Bare feet in the clover With Laughing friends And Fishing poles On secret paths To their favorite fishing hole… [Verse 2] Oh Silas by the trout stream Splashing waters gleam The world is green and bright Dragonflies drifting low Shirts rolled to their sleeves Muddy hands and laughter Casting lines into the fishing hole time stands still… The air is quiet… All at once the line Pulls hard Wild and heavy Silas plants his feet Calls them over Shouting… “Help me!” [Bridge] Hands all grabbing Feet all slipping…(hey!) Shouts and splashes Squeals and spray One last heave and on the gravel Appeared the rainbow trout From its mouth a gold coin tumbled Caught the sun and caught their breath They thanked the trout Then placed him out To his home in the hole in the stream… [Chorus] Oh Silas by the trout stream Summer in your eyes so wide Stones and splashes Secret paths The world is green and bright Oh Silas by the trout stream Friends are calling out your name May you always find such light In simple games [Verse 3] Running home with wet shirts clinging Coin clenched tight in muddy palms Mothers at the doorsteps waiting Fathers at the gate Listening to the tale “Treasures from the trout ” they cried… the fish that blessed their morning… [Irish music rif] [Outro] Red-haired Silas Years will make you taller But you’ll hear that stream Every time you wander Gold coin in your pocket Sun upon your shoulders Remember how it felt Before your heart grew older… [Irish music rif] ---------------------------------------- Lyrics © 2026 written by Carolyn https://suno.com/@shapenotes
