Branches Lyrics

I saw she was living under some branches
i saw she was happy in her circumstances
i also live under branches
i'd rather not live in these places
in these places

we won't get married
'cause she won't have me
she wakes up awfully early these days

and there's no one else so kind,
there's no one else to find --
it's hard for me, but i'm trying
it's hard for me, but i'm trying.

i saw she was busy gathering wood for a fire
i'd like to help her some, but she replies
it's done

we won't get married
'cause she won't have me
she wakes up awfully early these days

and there's no one else so kind,
there's no one else to find --
it's hard for me, but i'm trying
