[Verse 1: Blixa Bargeld]
Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountain
The men, they are all weeping too
[Verse 2: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are all weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back... at them
[Chorus: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
This is the weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is the weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
[Verse 3: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
Father, why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son
Oh, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true weeping is yet... to come
[Chorus: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the little children sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountain
The men, they are all weeping too
[Verse 2: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are all weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back... at them
[Chorus: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
This is the weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is the weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
[Verse 3: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
Father, why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son
Oh, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true weeping is yet... to come
[Chorus: Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld]
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the little children sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
