When I was just a little girl. My mama said to me. Beware of the devil my child. . In the dark rocky places he'll keep. Beware of the devil my child. Beware of his charming ways.
Well, my heart is sad and I am lonesome. For the only one I love. When shall we meet?. Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above. . So bury me underneath the willow.
Oh, people downcast in despair. See the disillusion everywhere. Hoping their bad luck will change. Gets a little harder everyday. . People struggle, people fight.
You were the love for certain of my life. You were simply my beloved wife. I don't know for certain how I'll live my life. Now alone without my beloved wife, my beloved wife.
