I Will Not Wear the Willow Songtext
von Karen Matheson

I will not wear the willow
Though my love is gone
There′s a cool corner of the pillow
I will lay my head on
I will lay my head on

I will not grieve in sorrow
For what has come to pass
Turn my thoughts to tomorrow
I will not cast the glass
I will not cast the glass

And I will not tremble
With the women in black
He's gone to the devil
And he won′t be coming back


Some said he took the shilling
Some said he took to the sea
Some said there once was a killing
And the killer was he
And the killer was he

I will not wear the willow
I will not lower my eyes
Though it's not on my pillow
I know where he lies
I know where he lies

And I will not tremble
With the women in black
He's gone to the devil
And he won′t be, he won′t be coming back

He won't be coming back...
