Wild Goose Grasses (Original Mix) Lyrics

Wild Goose Grasses (Original Mix) - The Weavers

Written by:Trad Allison

In Tarry town

 

There did dwell

A handsome youth

I'm not them well

He courted me

My life away

 

And now with me

He will no longer stay

Wide and deep

Wide and deep

My grave will be

My grave will be

 

With the wild goose grasses growing

Over me

 

Wide and deep

Wide and deep

My grave will be

My grave will be

 

With the wild goose grasses growing

Over me

 

Well I wore

My apron low

 

He's follow me

Through ice and snow

Now that I wear

My apron high

He goes right down the street

 

Passes by

Wide and deep

 

Wide and deep

My grave will be

My grave will be

 

With the wild goose grasses growing

Over me

 

Wide and deep

Wide and deep

My grave will be

My grave will be

 

With the wild goose grasses growing

Over me

 

There is an inn

 

In Tarry town

 

Where my love goes

And sits him down

 

He takes another

On his knee

 

For she has gold and riches

More than me

Wide and deep

Wide and deep

My grave will be

My grave will be

 

With the wild goose grasses growing

Over me

 

Wide and deep

Wide and deep

My grave will be

My grave will be

 

With the wild goose grasses growing

 

 

Over me
