By The Banks Of The River, Where The Willows Hang Down,
And The Wild Birds All Warble With A Low Moaning Sound,
Down In The Hollow Where The Water Runs Cold,
It's There I First Have Listened To The Lies That You Told.

Now I Lie On My Bed And I See Your Sweet Face.
And The Past I Remember, Time Cannot Erase.
And The Letters You Wrote Me Was Written In Shame,
And I Know That Your Conscience Still Echos My Name.

Now The Nights Are So Long, My Sorrow Runs Deep.
Nothing Is Worse Than A Night Without Sleep.
I Walk Out Alone, I Look At The Sky,
Too Empty To Sing, Too Lonesome To Cry.

If The Ladies Were Blackbirds And The Ladies Were Thrushes,
I'd Lie There For Hours In The Chilly Cold Marshes.
If The Ladies Were Squirrels With High Bushy Tails,
I'd Fill Up My Shotgun With Rock Salt And Nails.
