歌词
I went down to that river
Sat beneath the willow tree
The dew dropped on those willow leaves
Lord, and it rolled right down on me
And that's the reason I got the weeping willow blues
I went up on the mountain
Just as high as any girl could stand
I looked down on that engine train
That took away my loving man
And that's the reason I got the weeping willow blues
I heard the whistle blowing
The fireman ringed the bell
Taking away that willow tree
They give me this weeping spell
And that's the reason I got the weeping willow blues
When you're broken hearted and your man's out of town
Just go down to the river, take a chair and then sit down
And if he don't come back to you, I'll tell you what to do
Just jump right overboard because he ain't no more to you
Well, of course I love my man
I kiss him morning, noon, and night
I save my loving just for him
I try to treat him right
But now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do
The way he treats me, girls, you'd do the same thing
Oh, that's the reason I got the weeping willow blues
