Karaoké The Weeping Song Nick Cave

Go son

Go down to the water

And see the women weeping there

Then go up into the mountain

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

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

A song in which to weep

While all the men

While all the men and women sleep and women sleep

This is a weeping song

This is a weeping song but I won't be weeping long 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

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

A song in which to weep

While all the little

While all the little children sleep children sleep

This is a weeping song

This is a weeping song but I won't be weeping long but I won't be weeping long

Oh father tell me

Oh father tell me are you weeping are you weeping

Your face it seems wet

Your face it seems wet to touch to touch

Oh then I'm so sorry father

I never thought I'd hurt

Oh then I'm so sorry father

I never thought I'd hurt you so much you so much

This is a weeping song

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

A song in which to weep

While we rock ourselves

While we rock ourselves to sleep to sleep

This is a weeping song

This is a weeping song but I won't be weeping long 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

No I won't be weeping long

No I won't

No I won't be weeping long be weeping long
