Sweet Orr

Split down the middle in four

Cut down like a great war

I don't know what lays in store

Pulled apart like Sweet-Orr

Great knock lappin' at the front door

I see figures in the rain pour

They look, sayin', "More, more"

Pulled apart like Sweet-Orr

Big roots breakin' through the floorboard

Like waves beatin' at a white shore

My heart's out in Low Moor

Pulled apart like Sweet-Orr

Pamper and adorn her

I don't wanna mourn her

Good God, I'm tied and quartered

I feel as lonely as lonely can be and far away as a foreigner

Suck it up, son, hide it

Saddle up and ride it

You made the bed, now lie it

I feel afraid as a startled mare can be, honey, hold it, be beside it

Them geese all went flew north

I couldn't say just what for

I'm off to hunt a big boar

Pulled apart like Sweet-Orr
