Little Girl
Little girl, little girl
You have your mother's eyes
Such beauty was betrothed me
Before the day she died
Little girl, little girl
See how I weep and mourn
The presence absent from us
Leaves us silent and forlorn
My darling little babe
For what now do you weep
At least we have each other
To hold and to keep
Little girl, little girl
The well has run dry
The fields are burned bare
And I fear that I might die
But little girl, little girl
As long as I live
You'll have my share
And my life I will give
My darling little babe
For what now do you weep
Your belly is full
And you sleep the deepest sleep
Little girl, little girl
I work day in and day out
Quarrying long
By the great river mouth
Little girl, little girl
The hammer and the stone
At breaking of dawn
I will fall I'll be gone
My darling little babe
For what now do you weep
We don't have each other
To hold and to keep
Sitting there, all alone
In our cabin cold
You'll await my return
Till your life has grown old
You have your mother's eyes
Such beauty was betrothed me
Before the day she died
Little girl, little girl
See how I weep and mourn
The presence absent from us
Leaves us silent and forlorn
My darling little babe
For what now do you weep
At least we have each other
To hold and to keep
Little girl, little girl
The well has run dry
The fields are burned bare
And I fear that I might die
But little girl, little girl
As long as I live
You'll have my share
And my life I will give
My darling little babe
For what now do you weep
Your belly is full
And you sleep the deepest sleep
Little girl, little girl
I work day in and day out
Quarrying long
By the great river mouth
Little girl, little girl
The hammer and the stone
At breaking of dawn
I will fall I'll be gone
My darling little babe
For what now do you weep
We don't have each other
To hold and to keep
Sitting there, all alone
In our cabin cold
You'll await my return
Till your life has grown old
