Under The Willow Shes Sleeping

C         G7           C
Under the willow she’s laid with care,
Am           D7           G         G7
(Sang, along mother while weeping;)
C         G7           C
Under the willow, with golden hair,
   D7           G7      C           C7
My little one’s quietly sleeping.

[Chorus]
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
 Am          D7           G         G7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7        G7           C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.

[Verse 2]
C         G7        C
Under the willow no songs are heard
Am            D7           G        G7
Near where my darling lies dreaming;
C              G7            C
Nought but the voice of some far-off bird
C             G7                 C       C7
Where life and its pleasures are beaming

[Chorus]
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
 Am          D7           G         G7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7        G7           C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.

[Verse 3]
C         G7        C
Under the willow by night and day
Am        D7     G       G7
Sorrowing ever I ponder;
C             G7       C
Free from its shadowy, gloomy ray
    D7     G7           C       C7
Ah! never again can she wander

[Chorus]
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
 Am          D7           G         G7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7        G7           C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.

[Verse 4]
C         G7       C
Under the willow I breathe a prayer
Am         D7        G        G7
Longing to linger forever
C          G7         C
Near to my angel with golden hair
     D7                 G7        C     C7
In a land where there’s sorrowing never

[Chorus]
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
 Am          D7           G         G7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
F     G7        C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7        G7           C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.
