lyrics
Met him young at a barnyard dance
His eyes spoke passion and romance
Oh, with one touch I was weak at the knees
He said, “Take my hand and my girl you will be”
So I held that hand for a little while
But I got too settled I was in denial
He said, “on this hill, together old we’ll grow”
So I took the next train to a land unknown
Jumped off the track in a land anew
A dusty town where a city once grew
And met a boy in an old time string band
And fell into a love I had not planned
Well, I thought that love was fancy free
But I was caught off guard and he was on one knee
He said, “Girl, you know this wasn’t just some fling”
And with this ring I’ll clip those wanderer’s wings
So, Whiskey and wine, will do me just fine
I can’t stay long, I’m wanderin’ on
And no man of mine, can keep me from flying
I’ll stick with whisky, under the willow tree
Under the willow tree
Well, I landed back where my willow grows
And saw a boy sittin’ there below
And with one look into that wanderer’s eyes
I knew that drifter would be my demise
We stayed up all night and talked and sang
And rapped the stories that we brang
After a while I said boy can’t you see?
I could grow old with you here next to me
Well he said, “Whisky and wine, will do me just fine
I can’t stay long, I’m wanderin’ on
And no girl of mine, can keep me from flying
I’ll stick with whiskey, under the willow tree
So, Whiskey and wine, will do me just fine
I can’t stay long, I’m wanderin’ on
And no man of mine, can keep me from flying
I’ll stick with whisky, under the willow tree
Under the willow tree
I’ll stick with whisky, under the willow tree
Under the willow tree
I’ll stick with whisky, under the willow tree
Under the willow
