Once there was a willow tree on the water's edge
Once there was a carpenter, a barrow, and a sledge
Once there was a king alone without a crown
Once there was a gambler, a man about the town
Calico, thorn and rose, sunshine and shadow, false night upon the road

Waxen leaves so tender, a truck so broad and strong
Under swaying branches you hear the maiden's song
A fading distant melody, drifting on the breeze
Just enough to catch a glimpse then carried out to sea

Come to town a gypsy, a crystal, and a ball
With ancient eyes so milky they could not see at all
By chance was the gambler summoned to her cry
Certain as you roll the dice, the promise you will die
Calico, thorn and rose, sunshine and shadow, false night upon the road

Waxen leaves so tender, a truck so broad and strong
Under swaying branches, you hear the maiden's song
A fading distant melody, drifting on the breeze
Just enough to catch a glimpse then carried out to sea

The king was in a fury, his nose was red with drink
His manner it was violence, to depravity, he'd sink
He slurred and he stumbled, swore he'd have his head
'Fore I get to sleep tonight, I'll surely see him dead
Calico, thorn and rose, sunshine and shadow, false night upon the road

Waxen leaves so tender, a truck so broad and strong
Under swaying branches you hear the maiden's song
A fading distant melody, drifting on the breeze
Just enough to catch a glimpse then carried out to sea

The carpenter so patient his measure in his mind
A corner square his pleasure, he marks it with a line
With lumber hewn so true, cut from yonder tree
Cradle to the casket, your bones will lie with me
Calico, thorn and rose, sunshine and shadow, false night upon the road
False night upon the road, false night upon the road
