WEEPING WILLOW TREE, THE. English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). A,A,ABABABAB. The melody was collected from the village of Headington, Oxfordshire, in England's Cotswolds, along with these words:
Oh, once they said my lips were red and now they're scarlet pale,
Oh, I was a silly girl to believe this flattering tale.
He vowed he'd never deceive me; I like a silly believed he,
The moon and the stars they shone so bright,
Over the willow tree. ... (Quarry Men, c. 1950)
Oh, once they said my cheeks were red, but now they are drawn and pale,
When I like a silly girl believed his flattering tale.
He said he's never deceive me, and I like a silly believed he,
When the moon and the stars so brightly shone
Over the willow tree. ... (Journal, English Folk Dance & Song Society)
