Wind her up, wind her up
It's been years since she came
Over on the green plains to you
    
She calls his name
Shannaddee a dee a dee a dee
Over rock and sea
To her baby
    
When the box went in the ground
Cedar trees were all around
A war did take him from her town
And she ain't nothing but a ghost now
    
Wind up doll
In the back
Wind up doll
Click and clack
Click and clack
    
She will never be what you want her to be
    
She has dreams
Every night
That the box of cedar where
Where you went to lay
Will come to life
Hold her on the greens
Hold her on the green plains
Like you used to do
But she ain't nothing but a ghost you
    
You wind her up
In the back
Wind up doll
Click and clack
Click and clack
    
She will never be what you want her to be
Wind her up to walk and wind her up to speak
    
Hold her on the greens
Hold her on the green plains
Like you used to do
But she ain't nothing but a ghost
