ioo Ballads and Songs of Michigan
But sail my pillow is haunted By the girl I left behind.
8 My father's in his winding sheet; My mother too appears. The girl I loved seemed by their side A-wiping off their tears. Of broken hearts they all have died, And now too late I find, For God has seen the cruel treat To the girl I left behind. |
