Weeping Willow Blues - Odetta (欧蒂塔)[00:00:00]
I went down to the river sat beneath the willow tree[00:00:08]
The dew dropped on those willow leaves and it rolled right down on me[00:00:18]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:00:25]
I went up on the mountain high as any stand[00:00:33]
And looked down on the mean town that took away my lovin' man[00:00:42]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:00:49]
I heard the whistle blowin' the fireman ring the bell[00:00:58]
They're takin' away my willow tree that give me this weepin' spell[00:01:07]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:01:14]
When you're broken hearted and your man is out of town[00:01:51]
Go to the river take the chains and sit down[00:01:55]
And if he don't come back to you I'll tell you what to do[00:01:59]
Just jump right overboard 'cause he ain't no more to you[00:02:03]
Folks I love my man I kiss him mornin' noon and night[00:02:08]
I wash his clothes and keep him clean and try to treat him right[00:02:11]
Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do[00:02:15]
The way he treats me he'll do the very same to you[00:02:19]
That's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:02:24]
