I wish, I wish my baby was born

And sitting on its papa's knee

And me poor girl (and me poor girl) were dead and gone

And the green grass growin' o'er my feet

I ain't ahead, nor never will be

'Til a sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree

But still I hope (but still I hope) the time will come

When you and I shall be as one

I wish, I wish my love had died

And sent her soul to wander free

Then we might meet (then we might meet) where ravens fly

Let our poor bodies rest in peace

The owl, the owl is a lonely bird

It chills my heart with dread and terror

That someone's blood there on his wing

That someone's blood there on his feather
