hello sailor - under a surrey crescent moon lyrics
i went down to pick her some blooms
down where the wild flowers grow
she had been so obstructive lately
so why i did this i don’t know
the dog looked at me like i was crazy
for dogs see things we don’t show
but i buried her there without a care
down where the wild flowers grow
down where the wild flowers grow
down where the wild flowers grow
i went to buy her new shoes
just to keep her feet so dry
the cobbler he did know me
a tear was in his eye
i said ” hey they don’t fit her my friend
can i have a refund ?”
he said “here’s your money boy
just check your woman my son
check your woman my son
check your woman my son”
my hands were almost frozen
as if they’d been covered in snow
but i buried her there with a spade and a prayer
down where the wild flowers grow
they are coming to arrest me on tuesday
hanging me thursday at noon
so won’t you come see please come see me
won’t you come visit me soon
or my dog and my ghost will be your hosts
under a surrey crescent moon
beneath a surrey crescent moon
under a surrey crescent moon
i went down to pick her some blooms
down where the wild flowers grow
she had been so obstructive lately
so why i did this i don’t know
the dog looked at me like i was crazy
for dogs see things we don’t show
but i buried her there without a care
down where the wild flowers grow
