Oh Christy Oh Christy
Oh Christy oh Christy, where are you?
Why must you worry me so.
The war is done and gone.
Why wont you come?
Oh Christy oh Christy.
The battle is won, everything is not lost.
Oh Christy oh Christy my love my love
Why dont you hear me why cant you see?
The flowers are blooming, the horses stampeding.
Oh Christy oh Christy why did you leave me?
Why did you go?
Come down from heaven, come down to stay!
Oh Christy oh Christy.
