Rainbow Trout Lyrics - 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 said, "Please, please, I've lost my way 

The current is too strong" 

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" 

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" 

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"
