DESI'S BLUES lyrics: Shakespeare, music: Diane Nalini

A poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
Sing all the green willow,
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
Sing willow, willow, willow.
The fresh streams ran by her and murmured her moans,
Sing willow, willow, willow
Her salt tears ran from her and soften'd the stones
Sing willow, willow, willow

Sing all a green willow must be in my garland,
Let nobody blame him, his scorn I approve
I called my love false love, but what said he then?
Sing willow, willow, willow
If I court more women, you'll couch with more men.

-- From Othello
