Northern Crown
where have you been
my one true love
since you left me here
under stars above
each night i wait
when the sun goes down
for you to follow
the northern crown
i had a lily in my hair
it was crimson red
you picked it yourself
from our flower bed
the day you told me
you were leaving town
and riding away from
the northern crown
you vowed to return
on a night in july
when my heart starts to yearn
i look to the sky
the northern crown
under the northern crown
i'm going down
under the northern crown
you wore a lily in your hair
the one that i gave to you but you turned and walked away
i swore to you my love for evermore
but you laughed and turned and slammed the door
the northern crown
under the northern crown
i'm going down
under the northern crown
i know before you left
you did somebody wrong
and when you came back
you would take me along
now i stumble along with a loaded gun
down to the river and the setting sun
i'll wait by the banks i won't make a sound
you'll find me there
under the northern crown
under the northern crown
i'm going down
under the northern crown
my one true love
since you left me here
under stars above
each night i wait
when the sun goes down
for you to follow
the northern crown
i had a lily in my hair
it was crimson red
you picked it yourself
from our flower bed
the day you told me
you were leaving town
and riding away from
the northern crown
you vowed to return
on a night in july
when my heart starts to yearn
i look to the sky
the northern crown
under the northern crown
i'm going down
under the northern crown
you wore a lily in your hair
the one that i gave to you but you turned and walked away
i swore to you my love for evermore
but you laughed and turned and slammed the door
the northern crown
under the northern crown
i'm going down
under the northern crown
i know before you left
you did somebody wrong
and when you came back
you would take me along
now i stumble along with a loaded gun
down to the river and the setting sun
i'll wait by the banks i won't make a sound
you'll find me there
under the northern crown
under the northern crown
i'm going down
under the northern crown
