Oh Daughter! Why You Weep So?

Oh daughter! Why you weep so?
Oh daughter! Why you weep?
Oh daughter! Please do stop now
You really need some sleep.

Oh daughter! Please I beg you
Wipe your tears away
Put the past behind you
And face another day.

You knew what he was after
You knew he was no good
You knew he'd up and leave you
And I really think you should:

Forget the promises that were made
And throw away THAT ring
Pull yourself together now
There's nicer songs to sing.
