Daniel Fred & Julie - Down By The Weeping Willow lyrics

Down by the weeping willow Where the flowers sweetly bloom There sleeps the only one I love So silent in her tomb She died not broken hearted No sickness she could tell But in one moment parted From all she loved so well One night the moon shone brightly And gentle zephyrs blew Up to her house so lightly He faithless lover drew He said come let us wander In those dark woods we'll stray And then we'll sit and ponder Upon our wedding day Those woods look dark and dreary And I'm afraid to stray Of wandering I'm weary So I'll retrace my way Those woods those gentle zephyrs Your feet no more will roam So say goodbye forever To parents, friends and home Down on her knees before him She was beggin' for her life When deep into her bosom He plunged his hunting knife Oh William I forgive you Was her last dying breath Her pulses ceased in motion Her eyes were closed in d**h
