Lyrics

I wish, I wish
My baby was born
And sittin' on
It's papa's knee
And me, poor girl
(And me, poor girl)
Were dead and gone
And the green grass
Growin' o'er my feet
I ain't ahead
Nor never will be
Till the sweet
Apple grows
On a sour apple tree
But still I hope
(But still I hope)
The time will come
When you and I
Shall be as one
I wish, I wish
My love had died
And sent his soul
To wander free
Then we might meet
(Then we might meet)
Where the ravens fly
Let our poor body
Rest in peace
The owl, the owl
Is a lonely bird
It chills my heart
With dread and terror
That someone's blood
(That someone's blood)
There on his wing
That someone's blood
There on his feather
