Dar Williams - Holly Tree

When the robin builds in the holly tree,
It's a sign of life, it's gentle victory.
Well, today as I set to go,
I saw a nest in a tree hollow.
Oh Emily, you're a brave girl,
With your husband gone to the other world.
Sing a hymn while I light the fire;
We'll be joined by a heavenly choir.
Here's the tansy and the chamomile tea for you to drink,
As the pain increases, well you only have to think
About a baby. We'll save the baby.
I placed a holly sprig by the doctor's door.
He has done this well and many times before,
He'll be careful which way he goes,
But he's been kind to us farm widows.
And this I heard just the other day
That they came to buy, and you chose to stay.
Soon a child will help you reap and sow,
May he cast a long shadow.
