Hush a wild violet, hush a band of gold

Hush you're in a story I heard somebody told

Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today

You have found another, oh baby I must go away

So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me

Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie

Hush my love the rain now, hush my love was so true

Hush my love a train now well it takes me away from you

So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me

Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head Marie

So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me

Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head Marie
