willie - nora jane struthers lyrics

Loading...

come take a walk, my willie said
down in the gorge where the river bends
i’d known willie all my life
had a face like he’d never told a lie

we strolled down that rocky path
hand in hand, he made me smile, he made me laugh
reached the river’s edge and paused
there, willie took me in his arms

where you can’t hardly hear yourself think
with the water crashing around you
like a storm upon the sea
with a strange look in his eye

his deep voice quaking
he asked me to be his bride
at first, silence was my reply
i was afraid, but i could not tell a lie

and you can’t hardly hear yourself think
with the water crashing around you
like a storm upon the sea
willie, please, the water is icy and so deep
still i cannot marry thee

as the tears filled up my eyes
out on the slippery stones, i climbed
dark water swirling all around
where willie pushed me to the ground

in the shallows, he held me down
whispered, “my love, you will not drown”
i cried, “will, don’t take my life”
as he pulled out his knife

and you can’t hardly hear yourself think
with the water crashing around you
like a storm upon the sea
willie please, the water is icy and so deep
still i cannot marry thee
