Lyrics

He is just nine years old In darkness he lies Under the black sky See the trees in bloom See the trees in bloom See the snow fall down Go take a ribbon blue Go tie it round the tower And round the family jewels Bind weeds and daisy chains None shall be married None shall be married None shall be married And now they are all men Complete and fully grown Go buy a piece of linen And make yourself a shroud To mourn those hands To mourn those hands You'll never know Bind weeds and daisy chains None shall be married
