Misty River - Willow lyrics

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
