Lyrics:
Oh, my fair-haired boy, no more I'll see
You walk the meadows green;
Or hear your song run through the fields
Like yon mountain stream
Your ship waits on the western shore
To bear you o'er from me;
But wait I will till Heaven's door-
My fair-haired boy to see.


All joy is gone that we once knew
All sorrow newly found
Soon you'll in California be
Or Colorado bound
Let no sad tears now stain your cheek
As we kiss our last goodbye;
Think not upon when we might meet
My love, my fair-haired boy


If not in life we'll be as one
Then, in death, we'll be;
And there will grow two hawthorn trees
Above my love and me.
And they will reach up to the sky
Intertwined be;
And the hawthorn flower will bloom where lie
My fair-haired boy and me
And the hawthorn flower will bloom where lie
My fair-haired boy and me.
