Child Among The Weeds

Child Among The Weeds - Eliza Carthy

Child among the weeds dosn't need no beads

Just sing him a lullaby

Lullaby all the long night through

An old man in a rocking chair

Will need you there

So sing him lullaby lullaby

All the warm day too

But a young man in and among

Your sheets will leave a seed and weep

You have to sing him a lullaby

Lullaby all the warm day

And cold night too

Fly bird fly on your raven wing

Take to the sky and sing for

The love of wheeling and turning

The day has only just begun the silver sun is shining

Wake up wake up everyone the day is only dazzling

Fly bird fly on your raven wing

Take to the sky and sing for

The love of wheeling and turning

Child among the weeds dosn't need no beads

Just sing him a lullaby lullaby

Sing for the love of weeping and burning

Fly bird fly on your raven wing

Take to the sky and sing for

The love of wheeling and turning
