West Of Roan - I Took My Heart
Down, down by the river, oh
I buried it there where the ground is soft
And down where the waters flow
I went asleep, I went asleep
Down, down by the river, oh
My hair grew long and dark and soft
And down where the waters flow
I kept myself, I kept myself
Long, long, and lonely, oh
In the narrow bed that dreams go down
And down where the waters flow
And the lovers come, by one, by one
They bend the branches that grow by the river
I gather them up, I gather them up
And weave them into a wedding crown
