I Will Not Wear the Willow Lyrics

I will not wear the willow
Though my love is gone
There's a cool corner of the pillow
I will lay my head on
I will lay my head on
I will not grieve in sorrow
For what has come to pass
Turn my thoughts to tomorrow
I will not cast the glass
Will not cast the glass

I will not tremble
With the women in black
He's gone to the devil
He won't be coming back
Some say he took the shilling
Some say he took to the sea
Some said there was a killing
And the killer was he
The killer was he
I will not wear the willow
Will not lower my eyes
Though it's not on my pillow
I know where he lies
I know where he lies

I will not tremble
With the women in black
He's gone to the devil
He won't be coming back
