Willow
Lyrics and Music by Chris Kokesh
(c)2002 Chris Kokesh ASCAP

I am a maid sang to my love
I sang a song so sweet
I sang a song so mournfully
That the willow began to weep

I sang down by the riverside
My true love I did call
And though I sang a day and night
He never came at all

Through my tears I sang my song
The willow alone did hear
And as I slowly fell asleep
He shed a single tear

As the willow shed his tears
The river they did keep
And rose to carry me away 
Into the watery deep

I am a maid sang to my love
My tale is sad and sweet
I am the maid who sang the song
Which made the willow to weep
