| Lyrics: | The Lonely Willow Tree
There was a youth, a cruel youth
Who dwelt beside the
sea,
Six pretty maidens he murdered there
By the lonely willow tree.
One day he
walked with Sally Brown,
One day they walked by the sea;
When an evil thought came into
his mind
By the lonely willow tree.
"Take off your clothes, sweet Sally
Brown.
Take off your clothes," said he,
For though I am going to murder you
I would
not spoil your finery.
"Turn 'round, turn 'round, you false young man
"Turn 'round,
turn 'round," said she,
"For 'tis not fit for a man such as you
A naked woman to
see."
So 'round about he turned himself,
'Round about turned he.
She quickly
grasped him in both of her arms,
And cast him into the sea.
"Lie there, lie there,
you false young man
Lie there, lie there ," said she
"Six pretty maidens you've murdered
here
Now keep them company."
So down he sank, that false young man,
Down he
sank in the sea.
And there was none to mourn him, save
That lonely willow
tree.
