Song mother used to sing, needed for her funeral?

The song probably originated in the 40's/50's and I can not find it on any best seller lists. However I can remember we had it on a "record". So Again it went something like -" Remember me oh oh oh remember me oh oh, remember for the rest of your life. When I was a young boy ?????? But i'll always remember that girl down in the wood". Any ideas please?

Was it male or female singer, do you know if they were American, or British ?

Hi I think I found it.

THE GIRL IN THE WOOD. Sung by Frankie Laine,

Oh when I was a young boy
And drove my Mother wild
I met a maiden in the woods
And she said "Child,

Look deep into my green eyes,
And at my autumn hair
When you're a man you'll never see a girl
Quite so fair.

Remember me, oh remember me
(backing remember for the rest of your life)

Her eyes were green as grassy pools
Looking right at me
Her hair was red and grown with leaves
Just like an autum tree

She moved her tiny hands
And she made a little turn
She swayed in the wind
Just like a graceful fern.

I swore as she vanished
That when I was full grown
I'd have a girl just like her
To be my very own.

And now I am a man
And I'd marry if I could
But I can't lose the memory
Of the girl in the wood.

Remember me, oh remember me
Remembe for the rest of your life

I wished a hundred times
That she'd never looked at me
With the first wild beauty
That only you'd cans't see. (this may mean that only youth can see)

For a man cannot find it
When he's looking for a wife
And he'll end up in bachelorhood
The rest of his life


Remember me, or remember me.

Remember for the rest of your life.
Remember for the rest of your life.

I hope this is it and helps you. I am sorry for the loss of your Mother.
