On a tree by a river, a little tomtit
Sang willow, tit willow, tit willow
Singing willow, tit willow, tit willow?
Is it weakness of intellect,
With a shake of his poor little
Willow, tit, willow, tit, willow.
Well, he slapped at his chest as he
singing willow, tit willow, tit willow.
And a cold perspiration be
willow, tit willow, tit willow.
Willow, t 'willow, t 'willow
affection that made him exclaim
Willow, tit, willow, tit, willow
And if you remain callous and obstinate,
I I shall perish as he did,
Tid willow, tid willow, tid willow.
