Wild Goose Grasses

In tarrytown there did dwell
A handsome youth I loved so well
He courted me my life away
And now with me he will no longer stay
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me
When I wore my apron low
He followed me through ice and snow
Now that I wear my apron high
He goes right down my street and passes by
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me
There is an inn in tarrytown
Where my love goes and sits him down
He takes another on his knee
For she has gold and riches more than me
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me
Wide and deep my grave will be
With the wild goose grasses growing over me
