lyrics

The moss is green, oh, and wet on the elder tree
The river’s angry and so is the sea
I walk the bridge, I walk the bridge again
To see the river girl weave and spin

If she lay sick I would tend to her
She would be like a child to me
I walk the bridge, I walk the bridge again
To see the river girl weave and spin

Her curtains, they are of the finest lace
And in night, they shield her face from me
I walk the bridge, I walk the bridge again
To see the river girl weave and spin
