Green Willow
Lyrics and melody ©1997 by Catherine Faber
And all of the green
willow
Willow, willow, willow, willow
And all of the green willow
My garland shall be.
If I've wronged any man,
I shall do what I may
I shall wear the green willow
For a year and a day.
And all of the green willow
Willow, willow, willow, willow
And all of the green willow
My garland shall be
Now I have no true love
My bright garland to see
Let the other maids wear the flowers
It is willow for me.
If he ever returns
Let him wear on his brow
The garland of green willow
That I wore until now.
If I've wronged any man,
I shall do what may be
But I wear the green willow
For the wrongs done to me.
