Damn...the early days reggae were the best

[@kinklesstetrode]

One of the best tunes of all times.

[@lorenzo_firinu]

They say that once the tear has fallen,
The willow cries eternally
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
So tell where, my weeping willow
And if we'll ever meet again
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
They say the willow cries for someone
And that's when someone's heart is broken
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more

[@way2deep100]

Line one of verse two is actually "So fare-thee-well my weeping willow". It's an old way people used to say "farewell". And your verse three is not in this version; verse two repeats instead.
