Sallyangie River Song lyrics

My moon shines so softly
On the hair of my killer
Pour flowers on his head
Help me give him some shelter

Come, lie by the river
Rest your head, don't you fear
Then sleep softly, my baby
They won't find you here

And Daddy forgive them
They've taken and murdered all that he loved
He came with a gun, his mind all undone
Now he's weepin', they wanna hang him at morning

Pretty stars drop your wonder
On the eyes of my killer
Blind him with love light
Help me give him some shelter

Come, lie by the river
Rest your head, don't you fear
Then sleep softly, my baby
They won't find you here


And Daddy forgive them
They've taken and murdered all that he loved
He came with a gun, his mind all undone
Now he's weepin', they wanna hang him at morning.

I will die on a mountain
When the evening is falling
Kill softly, my baby
For I'll rise in the morning

Come, take me by the river
Bring your gun don't, you fear
Then sleep quiet, my baby
They won't find my body here

And Daddy forgive them
They've taken and murdered all that he loved
He came with a gun his mind all undone
Now he's weepin', they wanna hang him at morning
