Willow and Rue lyrics

Once I had a garden fair:

Willow and rue now grow

With blossoms rich beyond compare:

Willow and rue now grow

Where are the flowers I planted there

The roses that entwined?

Where are the flowers I planted there?

Gone with the cold, cold wind:

Willow and rue now grow

I gathered flowers everyday:

Willow and rue now grow

Now they've faded all away:

Willow and rue now grow

And on the earth the fallen leaves

Are lying in decay

Withered petals and broken stems

Around my garden lay:

Willow and rue now grow

Once I sat 'neath the tall oak tree:

Willow and rue now grow

Now it's the withy branch for me:

Willow and rue now grow

Where is the oak and the fine elm tree

That in my garden grew?

All come tumbling to the ground

When the bitter wind did blow:

Willow and rue now grow

Two songbirds in my garden sang:

Willow and rue now grow

The echoes with their voices rang:

Willow and rue now grow

The sweetest songbird you ever heard

Has taken wings and flown

Leaving one small bird behind

He sings all alone:

Willow and rue now grow

Willow and rue now grow
