What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the cattails, a maid did dwell
2
She sang sweet songs but she loved as well
3
She was a bit over five feet tall
4
And she loved no man for she loved them all
5
In her bed many hours we lay
6
While the north winds blow and the sparrows play
7
And in my hand she placed a key
8
Sayin', "Keep this my love, follow me"
9
So I swore, for she knew me well
10
I swore this love, I'd never tell
11
She said for me, her soul, she'd sell
12
Even if she must walk the fires of hell
13
Her hair it rushed and flowed so long
14
On a silken pillow, it did belong
15
Her eyes were yellow like the mornin' sun
16
And they were singin' each one a song
17
And her skin was dark like a russet dawn
18
Well in her hair would flow my tears
19
Of my lonely days, and my bitter years
20
And on her breast, my soul would sail
21
And her mouth was as sweet, sweet as ale
22
She was to me a golden cup
23
That poured me life, for me to sup
24
And in her heart was a lookin' glass
25
And a sturdy ship with a highest mast
26
For many days, I did remain
27
Until one day, I forgot her name
28
Then I knew I'd have to go
29
From where the sparrows played
30
And the north winds' blow
31
But then one day, by the cattail pond
32
My love was dyin', and then she was gone
33
I buried her where the green grass grows
34
And there she slept 'til the winter snows
35
So I sang my sorrow to the trees
36
And they said, "Go sing it to the breeze"
37
Well I knew this love no man could believe
38
So I buried my sorrow, my heart and my key
