Tom Paxton - I Followed Her Into The West lyrics
Your rating:
I followed her into the west Where I had never been before And never did she see me as I stood there helpless by her door Each day my resolution rose And every day an oath I swore Tonight I'll stand and be a man Tonight I'll knock upon her door And shaved and pressed, and clean and dressed I'd start upon the quest once more And each night ended as the rest I could not knock upon her door I swore that I would go no more And as the sun was moving low I heard a knocking at my door And standing there with food for me Standing there my heart's delight Who said "I thought you must be ill. I missed you at my door tonight" "Now you must rest and you must eat Your resolution to restore And when you're fit and you return Be sure to knock upon my door"
