Old Lake Under a Willow Tree

from Howl by Spencer Jo

/

lyrics

There's an old lake under a willow tree. There's an old lake under a willow tree. Won't my baby come down with me? Down to the lake and the willow tree. Won't my baby come down with me? Me, my baby, and the devil makes three. Me and my baby seen better times. Me and my baby seen better times. Lord it's hard, but Lord we tried! Me and my baby can't seem to get by. Lord it's hard, but Lord we tried! Love my baby 'til the day I die. Well, I gave my baby my hand to hold. Said I gave my baby my hand to hold. Starin' at the water, so dark and cold. I feel it runnin' through my bones. Starin' at the water, so dark and cold. Love my baby, let rest her soul. There's an old lake under a willow tree. There's an old lake under a willow tree. Won't you come down, Lord, and bring me peace? Before I lay my head to sleep, come down Lord and bring me peace. Down to the lake and the willow tree.
