I'm gonna go a riding on that Mariposa trail
lookin' for a sign of the Yellow Swallowtail
Or maybe I'll sit under Black Oak trees
An' watch an orange Monarch on the breeze
While fluttering to and fro in sporadic flight
is a cabbage butterfly with his coat of white
An' I'll bet it was one of the Ol' Man's cleverest jokes
When he created black and yellow mourning cloaks
Yes, I'm gonna go a riding on that Mariposa trail
An' watch colorful butterflies, delicate, and frail
