Lyrics

Under the willow she's laid with care
(Sang a lone mother while weeping)
Under the willow, with golden hair
My little one's quietly sleeping
Fair, fair, with golden hair
(Sang a lone mother while weeping)
Fair, fair, with golden hair
Under the willow she's sleeping
Under the willow no songs are heard
Near where my darling lies dreaming
Nought but the voice of some far-off bird
Where life and its pleasures are beaming
Fair, fair, with golden hair
(Sang a lone mother while weeping)
Fair, fair, with golden hair
Under the willow she's sleeping
Under the willow I breathe a prayer
Longing to linger forever
Near to my angel with golden hair
In a land where there's sorrowing never
Fair, fair, with golden hair
(Sang a lone mother while weeping)
Fair, fair, with golden hair
Under the willow she's sleeping
Fair, fair, with golden hair
She's sleeping
