I wish, I wish my baby was born
And sittin' here on its papa's knee
And me, poor girl, were dead and gone
Green grass growin' o'er my feet
I ain't ahead nor never will be
Till the sweet apple grows
On a sour apple tree
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I shall be as one
I wish, I wish my love had died
And sent her soul to wander free
Then we might meet where the ribbons fly
Let our poor bodies rest in peace
The owl, the owl is a lonely bird
It chills my heart with dread and terror
That someone's blood there on its wings
That someone's blood there on its feathers
That someone's blood there on its wings
