Tiger Mountain Peasant Song lyrics

Wanderers this morning came by.

Where did they go, graceful in the morning light?

To banner fair,

to follow you softly in the cold mountain air.

Through the forest, down to your grave

where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave.

They do not know you anymore,

more, more, more.

Dear shadow alive and well,

how can the body die?

You tell me everything,

anything true.

Into town one morning I went,

staggering through premonitions of my death.

I don't see

anybody that dear to me.

Dear shadow alive and well,

how can the body die?

You tell me everything,

anything true

Jessie, I don't know what I have done,

I'm turning myself into a demon.

I don't know what I have done,

I'm turning myself to a demon.
