Over Yonder Hill Songtext
von Sam Lee

Over yonder′s hill
There is an old house
Where my true love
Goes and sits himself down
Takes another fresh girl on his knee
Don't you think that′s a grief to me?
And a grief, a grief
And I'll tell you for why
Because he has more golden eyes
And gold may glitter and silver will shine
And all her beauties will fade in time
And I wish, I wish that my baby was born
And sit smiling on his own daddy's knee
Me, myself wrapped up in cold clay
And the green grass growing all over me
There is a flower
And I′ve heard people say
It grows by night and it fades by day And if I could that flower find
It would cure my heart
And would ease my mind
So across the field
That poor girl she ran
She was gathering flowers just as they sprang
Some she picked and some she pulled
Until she gathered her apron full
Her apron full
Her apron full
Then she rode home
And she made her bed
She put a snow-white pillow under her head
And she lay down and she closed her eyes
She closed her eyes
No more for to rise
She closed her eyes
