Crooked Still—Undone In Sorrow


Over yonder in the graveyared
where the wild ，wild flowers grow
there they laid my own true lover
she'd gone from me , forever more
fairer than the sweetest flower
restless as the wildest way
pored in with love deep as a ocean
this is the girl that i did win

i left her there back in the mountain
to see the world riches to gain
oh, when i returned no earthy treasure
could ease this heart so filled with pain
they saw high above the mountain
beneath that little mound of clay
the girl that i returned to marry
so stand a mound of flowers did lay

i'll go lay you down and wonder
lay aside my earthy gain
all i am undone in riches
undone in sorrow i'll remain
undone in sorrow i'll remain
