Lyrics for Dying in May

Oh, sister Oh, sister, will you go back to the flowers? Oh, sister Oh, sister, will you go back to the flowers Walking up the staircase (Maria, on the staircase of your uncle) Walking up the staircase in the houses of your aunts and uncle Oh, sister (her fever would come back at night) Oh, sister, will you come back to the flowers? Her fever would come back at night Oh sister, will you come back to the flowers? (She'd search the streets for her children) Walking up the staircase (Maria) Maria, when I was born (Maria, on the staircase of your uncle) Maria Oh, sister Oh, sister, won't you go back to the flowers? Oh, sister, won't you go back to the flowers? Maria She'd search the streets for her children Her fever would come back at night Walking up the staircase Maria Her fever would come back at night She'd search the streets for her children Oh, sister Maria Oh sister, won't you go back to the flowers? Maria, on the staircase of your uncle
