Текст песни Weeping Willow Blues - Rory Block

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 the weepin′ willow blues
I went up on the mountain, just as high as any girl could stand
I looked down on that engine that took away my lovin' man
And that's the reason I′ve got the weepin′ willow blues
I heard the whistle blowin', the fireman ring the bell
They′re takin' away that willow tree that give me this weepin′ spell
And that's the reason I′ve got the weepin' willow blues
When you're broken hearted and your man is out of town
Just go down to the river, take the 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, ′cause I love my man, I kiss him mornin' noon and night
I save my lovin′ 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, he′ll do the same to you!
That's the reason I've got the weepin′ willow blues
