Jim Dixon	Lyr Req: The Dreary Dream (John Jacob Niles) (8)	Lyr Add: THE DREARY DREAM (John Jacob Niles)	26 Jul 15
From The Ballad Book of John Jacob Niles by John Jacob Niles (Houghton Mifflin Co., 1960), page 293: THE DREARY DREAM (Niles No. 54 B) 1. For I have dreamed a dreary dream. Oh, who is free of sorrow? Oh, my love was dead on a leafy bed Beside the river Yarrow. Oh, my love was dead on a leafy bed Beside the river Yarrow. 2. And many men did come and go, And all were armed with knife. They've slain, they've slain my own dear swain. They've twined him of his life. They've slain, they've slain my own dear swain. They've twined him of his life. 3. It's I will read your dreary dream. It's I will tell your sorrow. It's I will tell you that your love Is dead beside the Yarrow. It's I will tell you that your love Is dead beside the Yarrow.
