Sing Sparrow Sing (The Ballad of Walter Kohn)
The trees are in silhouette once more
Their branches like a sable strand
Stitched up and through the sky my love
To hold it to this land
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone
And when they find you here someday
Face-down on that floor
An ear to a ghost man's railyard weight
For that train to take one more
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone
And if you should change your mind tonight
Turn, turn around as you please
And we'll meet again in some sweet spring
Beneath the old black trees
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone
Clementine, clementine, clementine
Oh clementine
Clementine, clementine, clementine
Oh clementine
And get thee behind me, satan
Their branches like a sable strand
Stitched up and through the sky my love
To hold it to this land
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone
And when they find you here someday
Face-down on that floor
An ear to a ghost man's railyard weight
For that train to take one more
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone
And if you should change your mind tonight
Turn, turn around as you please
And we'll meet again in some sweet spring
Beneath the old black trees
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone
Clementine, clementine, clementine
Oh clementine
Clementine, clementine, clementine
Oh clementine
And get thee behind me, satan
