Verse 1 He was just a barefoot dreamer In the Ozark morning air, Saving pennies, chasing wishes, With a heart He had to share. Two pups came home beside him, Bright as stars in midnight’s glow, And He swore he'd love them always— More than any boy could show. Chorus So run with Him through the timber, Where the cold creek softly flows. He found his courage in the wildwood Where the red fern grows. Though time can break a young boy’s heart In ways he never knows, Love still blooms in the quiet earth Where the red fern grows. Verse 2 We raced the coons through thorns and tree's Lantern swinging in his hand, Little Ann was swift as lightning, Old Dan strong enough to stand. But one dark night the shadows struck, And he lost more than he can say— A part of him went silent When his hounds were called away. Chorus So run with him through the timber, Where the cold creek softly flows. he found his courage in the wildwood Where the red fern grows. Though time can break a young boy’s heart In ways he never knows, Love still blooms in the quiet earth Where the red fern grows. Bridge They say the fern is heaven’s mark, A sign that angels chose— And there between my faithful friends Its crimson petals rose. Final Chorus So run with me through the timber, Where the cold creek softly flows. He learned what love and loss can be Where the red fern grows. Though childhood fades like smoke at dawn, One truth forever shows— His heart still lives in the quiet earth Where the red fern grows.
