Songtexte Weeping Willow Blues - Bessie Smith
I
went
down
to
the
river
Sat
beneath
the
willow
tree
The
dew
dropped
on
those
willow
leaves
And
it
rolled
right
down
on
me
And
that's
the
reason
I've
got
those
weeping
willow
blues
I
went
up
on
the
mountain
High
as
any
girl
could
stand
And
looked
down
on
the
mean
town
That
took
away
my
lovin'
man
And
that's
the
reason
I've
got
those
weepin'
willow
blues
I
heard
the
whistle
blowing
The
fireman
ring
the
bell
They're
taking
away
that
willow
tree
That
give
me
this
weeping
spell
And
that's
the
reason
I've
got
those
weeping
willow
blues
When
you're
broken
hearted
and
your
man
is
out
of
town
Go
to
the
river,
take
the
chains
and
sit
down
And
if
he
don't
come
back
to
you,
I'll
tell
you
what
to
do
Just
jump
right
overboard,
'cause
he
ain't
no
more
to
you
Folks
I
love
my
man
I
kiss
him
morning,
noon
and
night
I
wash
his
clothes
and
keep
him
clean
And
try
to
treat
him
right
Now
he's
gone
and
left
me
after
all
I
tried
to
do
The
way
he
treats
me,
girls
He'll
do
the
same,
same
to
you
That's
the
reason
I've
got
those
weepin'
willow
blues
