Hair Shirt Letra

For you make me this hair shirt to wear?

Though I give you this child so dear
To your breast you won't let me draw near
For it's closeness and love you must fear
I can't tend to your sickness, my dear

Will you make me a hair shirt to wear?
Make it long and make it fair
Weave it kindly from your brown hair
For you make me this hair shirt to wear

You've grown pale, you've grown thin
Lacking laughter and morning sin
I'll make whiskey and I'll make gin
And I'll watch you return to your kin

Will you make me a hair shirt to wear?
Make it long and make it fair
Weave it kindly from your brown hair
For you make me this hair shirt to wear

And we put you back into the ground
Move the earth to cover you around
Mark the place where your body is found
And we offer this ??? sound

Will you make me a hair shirt to wear?
Make it long and make it fair
Weave it kindly from your brown hair
For you make me this hair shirt to wear
