Lyrics
David the King, was grieved and moved
He went to his chamber, his chamber and wept
And as he wept and said

Chorus (after each verse):
Oh, my son, oh, my son
Would to God I had died
Would to God I had died
Would to God I had died
For thee, oh Absalom, my son, my son

Victory that day was turned into mourning
When the people did see how the king grieved for his son
He covered his face and in a loud voice cried
