Verse 1
On (G major) a (F major) (C major) (F major) tree by a river,
a little (B flat major) tom tit
(F major) Sang wil (C major) low, tit willow, tit (F major) willow
And I said to him, Dickie Bird,
(B flat major) why do you sit
Singing (G major) willow, tit willow, tit wil (C major) low?
"'Is it weak (C minor) ness of in (D major) tellect,
birdie?'
I cried.
(G major) "'Or a (Adim) rather (D major) tough worm
in your little in (G minor) side?'
(G major) "'With a (E flat major) shake of his
(B flat major) poor little (Bdim) head,'
he replied. (C major)
"'Oh, (F major) willow, titwil (B flat major) low, (F major) titwillow!' (C major)
(F major) He slapped at his chest
as he (B flat major) sat on that bough,
(F major) singing willow, (C major) titwillow, titwil (F major) low.
And a cold perspiration
dispangled (B flat major) his (F major) brow,
oh, (G major) willow, titwillow, titwil (C major) low.
He (Adim) sobbed and (D major) he sighed,
and a gurgle he (G minor) gave.
(G major) Then he (C minor) plunged himself (D major) into
the billowy wave, (G minor)
(G major) And an (E flat major) echo arose (B flat major) from
the sui (Bdim) cide's (G major) (C major) grave.
(F major) Oh, willow, (B flat major) titwillow, (F major) titwillow. (C major)
(F major) Now I feel just as sure as I'm (B flat major) sure
that my (F major) name isn't
Willow, Titwil (C major) low, Titwil (F major) low.
That was blighted affection
that (B flat major) made him exclaim,
(C major) Oh, Willow, (G major) Titwillow, Titwil (C major) low.
And if (D major) you remain callous and obdurate,
I (G major) shall (C major) per (Adim) ish as (D major) he did,
And you will know (G minor) why,
(G major) though I (E flat major) probably shall (B flat major) not
ex (Bdim) claim as I (C major) die.
Oh, (F major) willow, tit wil (B flat major) low, (F major) tit willow.
