Snow Falls on the Willow

I met a girl and i wanted to know
If it was silver or if it was gold
And if the weather was changing
Would it be rain
or would it be snow

So I left my pennies and i got on the road
And I left my old friends and my favorite clothes
I waited for the morning
Would it bring rain
Or would it bring snow

If the snow falls on the willow
She won’t be long
If the snow falls on my pillow
I'll hear her song

So I traveled halfway around the globe
And I found a man who was dressed in a robe
I said father
Will it rain
Or will it snow

If the snow falls on the willow
She won’t be long
If the snow falls on my pillow
I'll hear her song

I'll hear her song
Ring out in the night
And the music she sings
I will write

I went down to the tavern that night
I asked the bartender whose name was Mike
I said brother
Will it rain
Or will it be snow

If the snow falls on the willow
She won’t be long
If the snow falls on my pillow
I'll hear her song

If the snow falls on my pillow
I'll hear her song

I met a girl and i wanted to know
If it was silver or if it was gold
And if the weather was changing
Would it be rain
or would it be snow
