CG7C
Under the willow she’s laid with care,
AmD7GG7
(Sang, along mother while weeping;)
CG7C
Under the willow, with golden hair,
D7G7CC7
My little one’s quietly sleeping.
[Chorus]
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
AmD7GG7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7G7C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.
[Verse 2]
CG7C
Under the willow no songs are heard
AmD7GG7
Near where my darling lies dreaming;
CG7C
Nought but the voice of some far-off bird
CG7CC7
Where life and its pleasures are beaming
[Chorus]
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
AmD7GG7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7G7C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.
[Verse 3]
CG7C
Under the willow by night and day
AmD7GG7
Sorrowing ever I ponder;
CG7C
Free from its shadowy, gloomy ray
D7G7CC7
Ah! never again can she wander
[Chorus]
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
AmD7GG7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7G7C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.
[Verse 4]
CG7C
Under the willow I breathe a prayer
AmD7GG7
Longing to linger forever
CG7C
Near to my angel with golden hair
D7G7CC7
In a land where there’s sorrowing never
[Chorus]
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
AmD7GG7
(Sang, along mother shile weeping;)
FG7C
Fair, fair, and golden hair,
D7G7C
Under the willow she’s sleeping.
