lyrics

When we were just little kids, we played on grandpa's old farm
We took our motorbikes around the lake and we got lost for the day
And when we came back 'round again, we'd shrug it off and brush the leaves of evergreen, evergreen

When we were just little kids, we played on grandpa's old farm
And took all of our fishing sticks and tried our luck down at the pond
The water still, the crickets sang
The morning went and evening came
The limes and lily pads were green, were always green

And the sky above was blue
And the sky above was blue

We went out, the big canoe
We fell out, we saw a snake slither by Ricky's hand
We never did see him again
We made it back out by the shore
We dug our hands in mounds of clay
The water was so cold and damp,
So cold and damp

And the sky above was blue
(Oh Cassidy, the darling rose, the darling rose)
And the sky above was blue
(Oh Cassidy, the darling rose, the darling rose)

You went back to Arkansas
I remember hurricanes
We taped the glass in our front yard
and I danced to the wind and rain
The next day by the levee
The mississippi river flood
In our front porch, your father's trees
One for each of his three sons

And they still grow today
And they still grow today

(And they still grow today)
The river's wide, so deep it goes
The water's fast, then it slows
Time moves, summer grows
Cold the howlin' north wind blows

Oh Cassidy
And he's still here today
The darling rose, the crooked ghost of Cassidy
