This song was sang by Timi in 1988 when she was exactly seven years old (she confirmed this in a concert of her's in 2005). This song was listed in the following albums:

【才艺精选1·黄梅调1】（《黄金九岁1》）
【歌坛小公主1】 (Princess of Music no. 1)

This is a classic 河南民歌 (Hunan Folk song) sung by various singers which includes Teresa Teng (邓丽君) and Zhou Xuan (周璇).

Thanks to Hkship3 for providing the lyrics!

Lyrics:

高高的樹上結檳榔
The betel nuts grow on the tall, tall tree.
(gao gao di shu shang jie bing lang)
誰先爬上誰先嘗
Who first climbs up will first taste them.
(shei xian pa shang shei xian chang)
誰先爬上我替誰先裝
Who first climbs up I will first pack for him.
(shei xian pa shang wo ti shui xian zhuang)

少年郎採檳榔
Young man picks the betel nuts.
(shao nian lang cai bing lang)
小妹妹提籃抬頭望
I hold the basket and look up.
(xiao mei mei ti lan tai tou wang)
低頭又想呀
I lower my head and think
(di tou you xiang ya)
他又美 他又壯
He is also handsome, he is also strong.
(ta you mei ta you zhuang)
誰人比他強
Who will be better than him?
(shei ren bi ta qiang)
趕忙來叫聲我的郎呀
I hurry to call my lover
(gan mang lai jiao sheng wo de lang ya)
青山高呀 流水長
The green mountain is tall, and the running water is long.
(qing shan gao ya liu shui chang)
那太陽已殘 那歸鳥兒在唱
The Sun has set, and those returning birds are singing.
(na tai yang yi can na gui niao er zai chang)
教我倆趕快回家鄉
They are telling the two of us to hurry back to our home village.
(jiao wo lia gan kuai hui jia xiang)
