Lyrics
(Folk song)
Red are strawberries, redder than red roses
Heigh ho tra-la-la, redder than red roses
Red are strawberries, redder than red roses
Green the leaves are falling
Deep in forests, deeper than the ocean
Heigh ho tra-la-la, deeper than the ocean
Deep in forests, deeper than the ocean
Green the leaves are falling

Hi, Beth! I’m researching this song and wondering who you got it from! Thanks!
Hi Janell! I found it in several places online. 🙂
I learned the song in 1964 in a teen church group
Red are strawberries
Redder than red roses
Hey ho fa la la redder than red roses
Red are strawberries
Green the leaves are growing
Hi. I was taught this song at school by Sister Therese Marcel in 1966. I also was taught that is was ‘green the leaves are growing’. I’ve never forgotten it!
