Lily, Henry, And The Willow Trees - Marissa Nadler

Lily was a maiden in the castle sea

They found her in the forest

Where the wild willows be

Lily was a maiden in the castle sea

They found her in the forest

Where the wild willows be

Singing, Don’t plead me, no

For I will seize you in the snow

Singing, Don’t plead me, no

For I will seixe you in the snow

Henry first saw Lilianne

The girl of coloured hair

A-sitting by the river

With the willows in her hair

Lily sang a tune she knew

A shanty from the sea

He seized her by her little waist

Against the willow tree

Singing fare thee, Oh well

Where you gone, no one can tell

Singing fare thee, Oh well

Where you gone, no one can tell

Oh, you are worth a million silver pennies

Henry said to Lilianne

Oh, you are worth a million silver pennies

Henry said to Lilianne
