Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass
Walking home, my heart is filled with pain
Woe is me
[Verse 2]
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
[Verse 3]
As I wander through the trees
Picking off the windy leaves
Thinking where you may be sleeping now
I wanna die
[Verse 4]
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
[Verse 5]
As I sit mending your clothes
That you will never ever wear
Cooking daily for you, I do prepare
But woe is me
[Verse 6]
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
[Verse 7]
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
[Verse 8]
Is there war in some far land?
And have you gone to lend your hand?
And do you lie, broken and dying now?
I wanna die
[Verse 9]
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
[Verse 10]
Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass
Walking home, my heart is filled with pain
Woe is me
[Verse 11]
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
