Forest, Woods

If the word means the same as the forest or the woods, then it's fine. If you have a jungle in your head, play it here.

And to have what you wish
Only just for a moment
These are dangerous woods

Moments in the Woods

Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear
Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
I sort of hate to ask it,
But do you have a basket?

There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

Over the river and through the woods,
To Grandmother's house we go,
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.

Robin Hood and Littlejohn
Walkin' through the forest
[something her about] what the other'un had to say

Roger Miller, from the Disney Robin Hood cartoon

Why don't you say we go picking wild flowers
I got a spot way back in the woods

Anathea, Anathea
Don't go out into the forest
There among the green trees standing......

A very sad thing I had on a Judy Collins album in my teen-angst days

Sally said...

The ash grove, how graceful,
How plainly 'tis speaking,
The harp through it playing
Has language for me.

folk song (Welsh, maybe?)

He's gone and neglected
His pale wildwood flower

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas...

-"The Trees", Rush

...but honeychild I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Linda Ronstadt (Stone Poneys)
Michael Nesmith wrote it.

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest

"Annie's Song" - John Denver

Sally said...

Oh, how lovely was the morning
Radiant beamed the sun above
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,
Music ringing thru the grove,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love

a Mormon hymn

Heaz said...

There are no more potato chips left
In the empty bag in your hand
And the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Makes the mice get mad
And when the mice get mad
It leads to a plan to eat the house
And the plan's in the mind of the mouse in the woods
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
And the car is driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there's a house
And in the house there's a room
and in the room there's a chair
and sitting in the chair is you

But the folks that really knowed 'im
Knowed that neath those dirty shirts he always wore
There beated a heart as big as all outdoors
As big as all outdoors
Jud Fry loved his fellow man
He loved his fellow man
He loved the birds of the forest
And the bees of the field
He loved the mice and the vermin in the barn
And he treated the rats like equals, which he knew was right

(Rodgers/Hammerstein, "Pore Jud is Daid", from "Oklahoma!")

Walk with me my little child, to the forest of denial.
Speak with me my only mind.
Walk with me until the time, and make the forest turn to wine.

They strayed far away
On a long summer's day
And were lost in the wood
As I've heard people say

"Babes in the Wood"

Shanona Ryder said...

Stalked in the forest
too close to hide
I'll be upon you
by the moonlight side
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do
do do...

---Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf"

This is the forest of no return!
This is the forest of no return!
Those who stumble in,
Those who fumble in,
Never can get out!

from Disney's "Babes in Toyland"

Who's that walking through these woods?
Must be Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood - Sam the Sham (and the Pharaohs)

Parenthetical comment: I sold Sam my old Wurlitzer electric piano when we played a gig together in New Orleans in the late 60s. Wish I still had that thing.

Wow. Those little rock'n'roll organs were freakish and cool!

I'd rather be a forest than a street

over green fields
trees and mountains
flowers and forest bounties
home along the lanes of the skyway...
