Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are all weeping too 

Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are all weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back at them 

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long 

Father, why are all the children weeping?
Oh, they are merely crying son
Oh, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true weeping is yet to come 

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the little children sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long 

Oh, father tell me, are you weeping?
Your face it seems wet to touch
Oh, then I'm so sorry, father
I never thought I hurt you so much 

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While we rock ourselves to sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
No, I won't be weeping long
No, I won't be weeping long
No, I won't be weeping long
