Tit Willow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On [D]a t[G]ree by a river, a little to[C]p tit sang will[G]ow,[D]
tit, willow, tit, [G]willow.
And I said to him, Dickie,
but why [C]do you [G]sit singing wil[A]low,
tit, willow, tit, [D]willow?
Is it weak[Bdim]ness of [E]intellect, body, [Am]I cried,
[G]Or a [Bdim]rather tough [E]worm in
your little [Am]inside?
[D]With a [F]shake of his poor little [C]head,
he [A]replied, [D]Oh,[G] we let it,
we let it, we let [D]it.
[G]He slapped at his chest
as he sat [C]on that bough
[G]Singing wil[D]low, tit, willow, tit, [G]willow
And a cold perspiration
bespangled [C]his brow
[G]Oh, [D]willow, tit, [A]willow, [D]tit, willow
He sobbed [F]and he [E]sighed,
and a gurgle he [Am]gave,
[G]Then he plunged himself
[E]into the billowy [Am]wave,
[D]And an [F]echo arose [C]from the sui
[A]cide's [D]grave.[G]
[D]
[G]Now I feel just as sure as I'm
sure that [C]my name [G]isn't
Willow, [D]Titwillow, Titwillow.
[G]That was blighted affection
that made [C]him ex[G]claim,
[D]Oh, [A]willow, tit, willow, [D]tit, willow!
And [F]if you re[E]main careless
and obdurate,
[Am]I shall [G]perish as he [E]did,
and you will know why.
[Am]Though [F]I probably shall not [C]exclaim as [A]I die,
[D]
[G]Oh willow, tit willow, tit willow.
