Stanley Brothers - Hemlocks And Primroses lyrics

rate me

Thinking of you while out for a ramble

Down by a cold frosty stream

Set down on a bed of hemlocks and primroses

And gently I fell into a dream

I dreamed I saw a pretty fair maiden

Such beauty I'd never saw before

Her dress was bound round with hemlocks and primroses

So green was the mantel she wore

Her hair was of a dark brown color

Her teeth was as ivory so white

Her eyes they shined like sparking diamonds

Or stars than shine on a cold frosty night

I drew her near then I awakened

With two empty arms and you on my mind

Heaven seemed so near while I was dreaming

It hurts to know you left me behind
