Lyrics:

Farewell, Nancy, to heavens I'm bound to go
Let my absence be no trouble to ya
For I will see you soon, I know
Can't you hear the willows weeping?
Can't you hear them as they moan?
They're taking away my body
In the spring when the rivers flow

Don't let the devil take a hold
Don't let your well run dry
When your time on earth is over
I will meet you you in the bye-and-bye
Can't you hear the willows weeping?
Can't you hear them as they moan?
They're taking away my body
In the spring where the rivers flow

Farewell, Nancy, to the heavens, I'm bound to go
Let my absence be no trouble to ya
For I will see you soon, I know
Can't you hear the willows weeping?
Can't you hear them as the moan?
They're taking away my body
In the spring where the rivers flow

They're taking away my body
In the spring where the rivers flow
