THE WEEPING SONG 

Go son, go down to the water 
And see the women weeping there 
Then go up into the mountains 
The men, they are weeping too 
Father, why are all the women weeping? 
They are weeping for their men 
Then why are all the men there weeping? 
They are weeping back at them 
This is a weeping song 
A song in which to weep 
While all the men and women sleep 
This is a weeping song 
But I won’t be weeping long 
Father, why are all the children weeping? 
They are merely crying son 
O, are they merely crying, father? 
Yes, true weeping is yet to come \
This is a weeping song 
A song in which to weep 
While all the little children sleep 
This is a weeping song 
But I won’t be weeping long 
O father, tell me, are you weeping? 
Your face seems wet to touch 
O then I’m so sorry, father 
I never thought I hurt you so much 
This is a weeping song 
A song in which to weep 
While we rock ourselves to sleep 
This is a weeping song 
But I won’t be weeping long 
No, I won’t be weeping long 
No, I won’t be weeping long 
No, I won’t be weeping long
