I will not wear the willow 
Though my love is gone 
There's a cool corner of the pillow 
I will lay my head on 
I will lay my head on

I will not grieve in sorrow 
For what has come to pass 
Turn my thoughts to tomorrow 
I will not cast the glass 
Will not cast the glass

I will not tremble 
With the women in black 
He's gone to the devil 
He won't be coming back
Some say he took the shilling 
Some say he took to the sea 
Some said there was a killing 
And the killer was he 
The killer was he

I will not wear the willow 
Will not lower my eyes 
Though it's not on my pillow 
I know where he lies 
I know where he lies

I will not tremble 
With the women in black 
He's gone to the devil 
He won't be coming back
