about

Lyrics taken from William Shakespeare's Othello. The song was commissioned for a production of the play produced by Pomona College's Department of Theatre and Dance.

lyrics

The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree
Sing all, a green willow
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee
Sing willow, willow, willow
The fresh streams ran by her and murmured her moans
Sing willow, willow, willow
Her salt tears ran down her face and soften'd the stones
Sing willow, willow, willow

Sing all, a green willow must be my garland

Let nobody blame him, his scorn I approve
Sing willow, willow, willow
He was made to be fair, I to die for his love
Sing willow, willow, willow
I called my love false, but what said he then?
Sing willow, willow, willow
"If I court more women, you'll couch with more men"
Sing willow, willow, willow

Sing all, a green willow must be my garland
