How pleasant is the wind tonight
|
I feel some drops of rain
|
I never had but one true love
|
In greenwood he lies slain
|
I'll do so much for my true love
|
As any young girl may
|
I'll sit and mourn all on your grave
|
For twelve months and a day
|
|
The twelve months and a day being up
|
The ghost began to speak
|
Why sit you here and mourn for me
|
And you will not let me sleep
|
What do you want of me sweetheart
|
Oh what is it you crave
|
Just one kiss of your lily white lips
|
And that is all I crave
|
|
Oh don't you see the fire sweetheart
|
The fire that burns so blue
|
Where my poor soul tormented is
|
All for the love of you
|
And if you weren't my own sweetheart
|
As I know you well to be
|
I'd rend you up in pieces small
|
As leaves upon a tree
|
|
Mourn not for me my dearest dear
|
Mourn not for me I crave
|
I must leave you and all the world
|
