jean ritchie - sweet willie lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
come all young girls of a tender mind
my story i’ll tell to you
and listen well to my advice
and to my counsel true

[verse 2]
as a rule, the mind of a girl is weak
and the mind of a man is strong
and if you listen to what they say
they’re sure to lead you wrong

[verse 3]
when i was in my sixteenth year
sweet willie courted me
he said if i’d run away with him
his loving bride i’d be

[verse 4]
i loved my mother as my life
i loved my father well
but the love i have for sweet willie dear
no human tongue can tell

[verse 5]
when we were far away from home
enjoying a happy life
he said, “go home, go home, little girl
for you never can be my wife”
[verse 6]
“o willie dear, what have i done?
what makes you treat me so?
how can you take me from my home
and then leave me to mourn?”

[verse 7]
“it’s nature, nature, my little girl
i find no fault in you
my mind is set on rambling around
and now i bid you adieu”
