Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And under the boughs unbowed
All holdin' a snowy shroud
She had no heart, so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed
[Verse 2]
Each feather, it fell from skin
Till threadbare and she grew thin
How were my eyes so blinded?
Each feather, it fell from skin
[Chorus]
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
[Verse 3]
A gray sky with bitter skin
A rain cloud would rain on me
All out behind horizon, oh
A gray sky of bitter skin
[Chorus]
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
[Chorus]
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
[Verse 4]
And under the boughs unbowed
All holdin' a snowy shroud
She had no heart, so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed
