Weeping Willow Blues

I went down to the river
Sat beneath a willow tree
You dropped all those willow leaves
And it fell right down on me
That's the reason I got those weeping willow blues

I went upon that old mountain
Out in the air to stand
I looked down on that angel
That taken away my lovely man
That's the reason I got those weeping willow blues

Oh I heard the whistle blowing
That man rang the bell
They took away my willow tree
And left me this weeping fell
That's the reason I got those weeping willow blues

When your broken hearted and your man is out of town
Go to the river take a chair and then sit down
If you don't come back new I'll tell you what to do
Jump overboard cos he ain't no more to you
I love my man I kiss him morning noon and night
I wash his clothes I keep him neat
I try to treat him right
Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do
The way he treat me he'll do the very same to you
Oh that's the reason I got those weeping willow blues
