Willow’s Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heigh-ho, who is there?
No one but me, my dear
Please come, say, "How do?"
The things I'll give to you

[Refrain]
I'll catch a rainbow from the sky
Ooh, and tie the ends together

[Verse 2]
Heigh-ho, I am here
Am I not young and fair?
Please come, say, "How do?"
The things I'll show to you

[Refrain]
Could have had a wondrous sight
Ooh, the midday sun at midnight

[Verse 3]
Fair maid, white and red
Comb you smooth and stroke your head

[Refrain]
How a maid can milk a bull
Ooh, and every stroke a bucketful
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Heigh-ho, who is there?
No one but me, my dear
Please comе, say, "How do?"
The things I'll show to you

What did Katy J Pearson say about "Willow's Song"?
Genius Answer

Strangely, I heard The Wicker Man soundtrack way before I watched the movie. I remember my dad playing me Willow’s Song and I found it hypnotic and it started being a song I listened to a lot. The version I did for the record was a kind of psychedelic/ krautrock version so having the opportunity to work with my friends Broadside Hacks on a traditional cover which they put together so beautifully has been really brilliant. I’m such a fan so it’s an honour to be involved in the 50th anniversary of The Wicker Man.
