Lay Me Down
Brother won't you lay me down Brother, oh brother, is there any news today My lover he is gone on a ship so far away He took with him my heart when he left here on that day Oh brother, is there any news today Sister, oh sister, you know this to be true Any word I heard I would surely pass to you To ease your worried mind there ain't nothing I won't do Oh sister, don't you know this to be true Lay me down by the river to the sea Lay me down by the river to the sea Lay me down by the river to the sea Brother, won't you lay me down Mother, oh mother, is there any news today I begged, I cried, I pleaded, but I could not make him stay The memory of his touch still haunts me when in bed I lay Oh mother, is there any news today Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Daughter, oh daughter, I need you to be strong The crimson skies say he is safe they never will be wrong Soon this war will end and he'll be back where he belongs Oh daughter, now I need you to be strong Father, oh father, is there any news today My love is surely gone, my heart has been betrayed Waves of fear are rising, I can't make them go away Father, is there any news today Daughter, oh daughter, I have heard some news today The words of this letter, I can't bring myself to say Your lover he fought bravely 'fore he slipped beneath the waves Oh daughter, I have heard some news today They laid him down by the river to the sea
