I wanna be a witchman No one will wear my silver ring Poor little turtle dove, just sitting up in pine Mourning for your own true love Why not me for mine? Why not me for mine? I got hogs in the pen and corn to feed them on And all I want is someone who will feed them When I'm dead and I'm gone Feed them when I'm dead and gone Cos I know I'm not going to marry in the fall And I'm not going to marry in the spring I will never marry, marry at all No one will wear my silver ring Wear my silver ring, no will I'm not going to marry in the fall And I'm not going to marry in the spring I will never marry, marry at all No one will wear my silver ring Wear my silver ring, no will Oh little turtle dove, sitting up in pine Mourning for your own true love Oh why not me for mine? So I went up to this mountain to give my horn a blow All the boys in the valley said Yonder comes my beau And yonder comes my bow But I know I'm not going to marry in the fall And I'm not going to marry in the spring I will never marry, marry at all No one will wear my silver ring And I'm not going to marry in the fall And I'm not going to marry in the spring I will never marry, marry at all No one will wear my silver ring Wear my silver ring, no will But who will feed them when I'm dead and gone? Oh little turtle dove, just sitting up in pine Mourning for your own true love Why not me for mine? All I want is someone who will feed them When I'm gone I will never marry at all No one will wear my silver ring
