TINKLY MUSIC
The trees were dressed in springtime
green I will not see them this year
I cast a cloud and may be out this is my final hour
My love has gone beyond the
seas to fight for God and life
He does not know I'm dying here and will not last the night
We wandered through the dewy door a night before he sailed
We sheltered in the misty barracks and in the fog were they all
My
nose was red and red my eyes had thought from crying when
He bought a chip was lost to sight will I see him again
I woke up with a broken heart and
chesty cough I was so afraid to be alone
I knew that I was fated then
to die from pneumonia
So all you maidens listen
here to what I say to you
Just keep your vest and wellies on when roaming the dune
