What was the color of your Willy's hair What was the color does your Willy ware A round blue jacket and his trousers white And his curly hair was my hearts delight O fair maid , fair maid he is not here For he's lost or drowned that I am afraid For on yon green island as we passed by 'Twas there we lost a fine sailor boy She wronged her hands and she tore her hair Just like a lady in deep despair She called for paper, both pen and ink And every night she did drop a tear And every word she calls Willy here O father, father dig me a grave Go dig it long and go dig it wide Place marble stone on my head and feat That the world may know that I died in grief |
