Do Not Hang Your Head
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If ever I do hurt you
Make your willows bend
If ever I deceive you
Darling, do not hang your head
If ever I betray you
Cast shadows on your light
I pray that you may pardon
and forgive me by and by
Oh my, baby cast another line
Oh my, baby cast another line
Cause in our greatest conquest
We are but failed attempts
At the heroes we once dreamt of
when we were children in our beds
And in our greatest triumph
We cannot shake the fear
That the ones that we most treasure
May had any given second disappear
my dear, may you never disappear
my dear, may we never disappear
Cause we are all just animals living in the wild
but we too can be civil friends
I'd like to try that now
I'd like to try that now
Cause I know that I don't deserve you
But if I ever dare forget
May you help my heart remember
and bring me home again
