by Ralph Stanley from "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" Transcribed by Jason Hannan Intro: A {}cerns A lily decked pool with a border of {A}ferns And a {}wings Drifts down to the edge of the {}sings {}me Step out on the leaves of the {}ly And the {}wild Cries wait till I come, till I reach you my {}child But the {}wings Steps out on the leaves of the {}sings {}me Step out on the leaves of the {}ly Instrumental (chords same as verse) And the {}stream But the lily leaves sink and she wakes from her {}dream Oh the {}brings And she knows its her dead baby?s {}sings {}me Step out on the leaves of the {}ly {}me Step out on the leaves of the {}ly End This is officially the saddest song in the world.
