|
My moon shines so softly |
|
On the hair of my killer |
|
Pour flowers on his head |
|
Help me give him some shelter |
|
Come lie by the river |
|
Rest your head don't you fear |
|
Then sleep softly my baby |
|
They won't find you here |
|
And Daddy forgive them |
|
They've taken and murdered all that he loved |
|
He came with a gun his mind all undone |
|
Now he's weepin' they wanna hang him at morning. |
|
Pretty stars drop your wonder |
|
On the eyes of my killer |
|
Blind him with lovelight |
|
Help me give him some shelter |
|
Come lie by the river |
|
Rest your head don't you fear |
|
Then sleep softly my baby |
|
They won't find you here |
|
And Daddy forgive them |
|
They've taken and murdered all that he loved |
|
He came with a gun his mind all undone |
|
Now he's weepin' they wanna hang him at morning. |
|
I will die on a mountain |
|
When the evening is falling |
|
Kill softly my baby |
|
For I'll rise in the morning |
|
Come take me by the river |
|
Bring your gun don't you fear |
|
Then sleep quiet my baby |
|
They won't find my body here |
|
And Daddy forgive them |
|
They've taken and murdered all that he loved |
|
He came with a gun his mind all undone |
|
Now he's weepin' they wanna hang him at morning |
