Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm just a fool for April There's nothing more to say Long as I can remember She's led my heart astray [Verse 2] When I was green as willow She had me ditchin' school And even then she tricked me I'm just an April fool [Verse 3] She tangles dogwood blossoms Into her yellow hair She uses the same perfume The smoky mountains wear [Verse 4] She keeps the flame of summer 'Round her neck like as a jewel She breezes in to see me And I'm an April fool [Bridge: Michael Johnson & Truly Carmichael & Michael Johnson] She entrances me and she dances me And she flies me like a kite And I soon forget she's only come to play Then there comes a day when she will not stay And I lie awake all night Hoping next time April may [Verse 5] When I walked out this morning April had up and gone And it was clear as water She'd only led me on [Verse 6] And it will be next winter Before my heels will cool And then I will forgive her I'm just an April fool [Outro] She knows I will forgive her I'm just an April Fool
