I Wish I Wish - Sam Amidon

I wish I wish my baby was born

Sitting on her papa’s knee

And if our girl was dead and gone

With the green green grass growing over my feet

I wish I wish my baby was born

Sitting on her papa’s knee

And if our girl was dead and gone

With the green green grass growing over my feet

I ain’t a hound and never will be

Til the sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree

But I still hope the day will come

‘Cause you and I shall meet as one
