Red Rover

Red rover, red rover, send Mary right over Schoolbooks in her hand and a shawl over her shoulders And let her run, run as fast as she can Don't let her grow up to be like her mother Heart so unconvinced and a world so undiscovered And asking for forgiveness, not knowing how to forgive In time, just let her go In time, she's beautiful If you hold her back she may never know Red rover, red rover, send Daniel right over Schoolbooks in his hand and a coat over his shoulders And let him run, run as fast as he can Don't let him grow up to be like his father Heart so set in stone and a smile so undercover And opening the door to love, never letting love in In time, just let him go In time, he's beautiful If you hold him back he may never know
