lyrics

Willow Song
(Anonymous)

The poor soul sat sighing
By a sycamore tree,
Sing willow, willow, willow,
With her hand in her bosom
And her head upon her knee,
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Shall be my garland.

She sighed in her singing
And made a great moan,
Sing willow, willow, willow,
I am dead to all pleasure,
My true love he is gone
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Shall be my garland.

Sing all a green willow,
Willow, willow, willow
Aye me, the green willow
Must be my garland.

The fresh streams ran by her
And mumur’d her moans
Sing willow, willow, willow,
Her salt tears fell from her
And soften’d the stones.
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Shall be my garland.

Come all you forsaken
And mourn you with me.
Sing willow, willow, willow,
Who speaks of a false love?
Mine's falser yet than she.
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Oh, willow, willow, willow,
Shall be my garland.

Sing all a green willow,
Willow, willow, willow
Aye me, the green willow
Must be my garland.
Sing all a green willow,
Willow, willow, willow
Aye me, the green willow
Must be my garland.
