Winter is gone
And the leaves are green
Winter is gone
And the leaves turn green
Your innocent face
I wish I never had seen**
Come on, my love
And fare thee well
Come on, my love
And fare thee well
You cheated me
But I wish you well
Rope is bought
And the bough is swung
Rope is bought
And the bough is swung
An innocent man
This day will be hung
Come on, my love
And see me die
Come on, my love
And see me die
See me dancing
Dance 'NEATH the sky**
'Neath those gallows high
Come on and see me die
Winter is gone
And the leaves are green
Winter is gone
And the leaves ARE green**
Your innocent face
I wish I never had seen**
