 By the banks of the river, where  the willows hang down
 And the wild birds all warble with  a low moaning sound
 Down in the hollow, where  the waters run cold
 It was there I first listened  to the lies that she told.

   scale run
 Now I lay on my bed and I can see her sweet face
 The past I remember, time  can not erase
 The letter you wrote  me, it  was written in shame
 And I know that your conscience  still echoes my name
 V3
  E A E Now the nights
 so long, your sorrows run deep
 And nothing is worse,  than  a night without sleep
 I’ll walk out alone and  look at the sky
 To empty to sing, to  lonesome to cry
 V4
 If the ladies were blackbirds  and  the ladies were Thrushes
 I’d lie there for hours,  in  the chilly cold marshes
 If the ladies were squirrels, with  a high bushy tails
 I’d fill up my shotgun  with rock salt and nails
