Bywater 04:06
Down by deep water where sweet lindens stand, I saw pretty Polly wringing her hands, The song that she sang made the whole grove to ring, My Billy has left me, to fight for a king, And I wish the wars were all over. I stood in amaze at the words that she said, I'll follow my Billy whether living or dead, The notes that she sang made the whole grove to ring, The lark and the linnet how they warble their throats, And I wish the wars were all over. Away from my parents I'll hasten away, I'll deck myself out in a young man's array, And at every company that I pass by, I'll ask of my billy or where he does lay, And I wish the wars were all over.
