Northern Crown

Where have you been

My one true love

Since you left me here

Under stars above

Each night i wait

When the sun goes down

For you to follow

The northern crown

I had a lily in my hair

It was crimson red

You picked it yourself

From our flower bed

The day you told me

You were leaving town

And riding away from

The northern crown

You vowed to return

On a night in july

When my heart starts to yearn

I look to the sky

The northern crown

Under the northern crown

I'm going down

Under the northern crown

You wore a lily in your hair

The one that i gave to you but you turned and walked away

I swore to you my love for evermore

But you laughed and turned and slammed the door

The northern crown

Under the northern crown

I'm going down

Under the northern crown

I know before you left

You did somebody wrong

And when you came back

You would take me along

Now i stumble along with a loaded gun

Down to the river and the setting sun

I'll wait by the banks i won't make a sound

You'll find me there

Under the northern crown

Under the northern crown

I'm going down

Under the northern crown
