The Willow Maid
A young man walked through the forest
- A young man walked through the forest
- With his quiver and hunting bow
- He heard a young girl singing
- And followed the sound below
- There he found the maiden
- Who lives in the willow
- He called to her as she listened
- From a ring of toadstools red
- Come with me my maiden
- Come from thy willow bed
- She looked at him serenely
- And only shook her head
- See me now a ray of light in the moondance
- See me now I cannot leave this place
- Hear me now a strain of song in the forest
- Don't ask me to follow where you lead
- A young man walked through the forest
- With a flower and coat of green
- His love had hair like fire
- Her eyes an emerald sheen
- She wrapped herself in beauty
- So young and so serene
- He stood there under the willow
- And he gave her the yellow bloom
- Girl my heart you've captured
- Oh I would be your groom
- She said she'd wed him never
- Not near nor far nor soon
- See me now a ray of light in the moondance
- See me now I cannot leave this place
- Hear me now a strain of song in the forest
- Don't ask me to follow where you lead
- A young man walked through the forest
- With an axe sharp as a knife
- I'll take the green-eyed fairy
- And she shall be my wife
- With her I'll raise my children
- With her I'll live my life
- The maiden wept when she heard him
- When he said he'd set her free
- He took his axe and used it
- To bring down her ancient tree
- Now your willow's fallen
- Now you belong to me
- See me now a ray of light in the moondance
- See me now I cannot leave this place
- See me now a ray of light in the moondance
- Don't ask me to follow where you lead
- She followed him out the forest and collapsed upon the earth
- Her feet had walked but a distance from the green land of her birth
- She faded into a flower that would bloom for one bright eve
- He could not take from the forest what was never meant to leave

You can do it better next time
I always sing this song before. I'm planning to make a cover of this song too
