As [G] I passed by a willow [E] tree, willow tree
[D] That willow [A] leaf blew down on [G] me
Well, I picked it up, [C] it would not [A] break
[D] I asked my Lord, [D] he would not speak
I think that [G] why she's an artist
is
because you get the feeling that she would do what she [E] does
whether
there was an audience for her or not.
She's clearly someone that loves that [D] music and is driven by it.
[F] People from [G] the English folk tradition
are
really excited to have as persuasive an [Eb] advocate
as
Eliza Carthy, arguing the case for English [D] folk music.
But I think that that's kind of secondary to her as an artist.
She just feels driven to create.
[G] Oh, I wished your bosom were a [D] glass, a glass
So I could feel [G] it through and through
Are just the beauteous secrets of [C] your [A] heart
[D] If I love one, I can't love two

[Db] [D] [Bm]
[G] Willow Tree is a version of a song Eliza [C] found
on
an Old Topic Records compilation of English [D] folk tunes.
What has [G] happened over the years
is
it's gone down from father to son and mother to daughter
all
the way [D] down through the years, through the years.
Changed, you know, somebody heard it in, I don't know, Norwich
and
went off and lived in to Leeds, took the song with them.
And so you get a different version.
You get, [C] you know, and this is how all the different versions
[A] arrive,
because people, [G] you know
people
don't remember them exactly right.
In 1965, [Ab]
an elderly woman named Mae Bradley
sang
Willow Tree in a pub called The Blue Boar.
I'm sorry, I like to willow
She [Db] sings as low as I do.
By reinterpreting this old song
Eliza
has brought Mae Bradley and her world back to life
as
vividly as [Bbm] any photograph or memento.
I've listened to certain songs all my life
and
she will get the song and she will sing it
and
she puts [D] something into it
that
you think, oh, God, why didn't I see that?
You know, oh, yes, that, yeah, that's right.
It's right.
When I listened to it, I could really hear that sort of
30s,
40s kind of swing thing in there.
The tune's still really different, isn't it?
If I approach a song, [Ab] the first thing that I do is find
try
and find a traditional singer who sings that [Bb] song.
I want to know what they do with it.
I [D] want to hear how they feel.
And the only way you're gonna do that is by hearing [Eb] a traditional singer.
The Internet has made finding [G] hidden gems like this easier than ever before.
[Bb]
But without musicians like Eliza Carthy to sing them
a
part of English heritage would disappear [G] forever.
Oh, give me back to the [D] one I love, oh, Lord
Oh, give, oh, give him [G] back to me
If I ought [C] [Cm] [D]
[Bm] to be happy, [D] oh, [G] I'd be
Oh, my Lord
I think Eliza [Ab] is really good at [F] taking old songs by the [D] horns
and
dragging them to another place where you [G] hadn't thought about.
These songs were [G] originally written by somebody, the idea [C] of the song.
If we don't sing them and if we don't [D] do anything with them, it won't be there.
Which is [G] a really
It's a big shame and a sad thing.
[E] As Eliza's dad, Martin Carthy, is [D] very fond of saying
the
worst thing you can do with a traditional song
is
to ignore [Eb] it and not play it.
[G] And I think that's spot on.
If I only [G] had [C] that one
[Cm]
I'd [Db] be happy
[D] Oh,
[G]
[N]
[G] my [D]
