Willie My Weaver-O
Tom Paxton
[Verse 1] Down by the riverside quietly wandering I met my Willie the pride of the west In his arms I would lie for all the joy he’d bring He laid his golden hair down my breast. [Chorus] Roll your leg over mine Willie my weaver - O I your arms let me twine Willie my dear. Weave to your heart’s content Willie my weaver - O Weave till you yarn is spent Willie my dear. [Verse 2] He is my weaver-O He weaves my woes a-way He is my shuttle and I am his loom Down in some shady glen or in some quiet place He does his weaving wherever there’s room. [Chorus] Roll your leg over mine Willie my weaver - O I your arms let me twine Willie my dear. Weave to your heart’s content Willie my weaver - O Weave till you yarn is spent Willie my dear. [Verse 3] I love my Willie and he is my candy - O His weaving fills me completely with sighs I long to go again out with my Willie - O And watch him weave with the sun in my eyes. [Chorus] Roll your leg over mine Willie my weaver - O I your arms let me twine Willie my dear. Weave to your heart’s content Willie my weaver - O Weave till you yarn is spent Willie my dear.
