Rainbow Trout - Gordon Lightfoot

In the name of love she came

This foolish winsome girl

She was all decked out like a rainbow trout

Swimmin' up stream in the world

And she said «Please, please, I’ve lost my way

The current is too strong

In the name of love, kind sir I pray, in the name of love»

So I took her by the hand, she took me by the will

She was all dolled up like a blue eyed pup

Looking for something to spill

And she said «Please, please, I’ve lost my way

The current is too strong

In the name of love, kind sir I pray, in the name of love»

In the name of love she came

This foolish winsome girl

She was all decked out like a rainbow trout

Swimmin' upstream in the world

And she gave one flip of the rainbow tip of her tail

And she swam back down

And she said «Please, please, I’ve lost my way

The current is too strong

In the name of love, kind sir I pray, in the name of love»
