Hunger Games, The movie - Daughter's Lament lyrics

rate me

Come in, come in my father dear

And spend this hour with me

For I have a meal, a very fine meal

And I fixed it up for thee, thee

I fixed it up for thee

No, I ain't comin' in, no I ain't comin' in

To spend this hour with thee

For I have to go down in the mines

I'll return this night to thee, thee

I'll return this night to thee

Then she got up her arrow and her bow

Her arrow and her string

And she went down to the forest deep

And sweetly she did sing, sing

And sweetly she did sing

Up spoke, up spoke a mockingjay

Up from a willow tree

You had a father in the mine

Who's gone this day from thee, thee

Who's gone this day from thee

Woe be woe be mockinglay

Woe be woe be to thee

I'll send an arrow through your hear

For to bring such news to me, me

For to bring such new to me

Up spoke, up spoke that mockingjay

Don't waste your time with me

Go home and mind that pretty little girl

Her father no more does see, see

Her father no more does see

She went home to ter house that night

That house so cold and mean

And she held her sister close to her side

And never more did sing, sing

And never more did sing
