molly scott (folk) – melora lyrics
[verse 1]
love came by from the river smoke
when the leaves were green on the trees
but i cut my heart on the blackjack oak
before they fell on me
[verse 2]
the leaves are green in the early spring
brown as linsey now
i did not ask for a wedding ring
from the wind in the bending bough
[verse 3]
lightly, lightly, leaves of the wild
fall lightly on my care
i am not the first to go with child
from the wind in the bending air
[verse 4]
good girls sleep in their modesty
bad girls sleep in their shame
i must sleep in a hollow tree
’til my child can have a name
[verse 5]
cold and cold and cold again
cold in the blackjack limb
the winds of the sky for his sponsor men
and a bird to christen him
[verse 6]
he’s going to act like a hound let loose
when he comes from the blackjack tree
and he’s going to walk in proud, proud shoes
all over tennessee
