๐ Lyrics
The wind doth blow today, my love
And it feers small drops of rain
I never had but one true love
And in Greenwood he is lain
I'll do as much for my true love
As any young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For twelve months and a day
The twelve months and a day being done
The dead began to speak
"Oh, who sits weeping on my grave
And will not let me sleep?"
"'Tis I, your love, sits on your grave
And will not let you sleep
For I crave one kiss of your clay-cold lips
And that is all I seek."
"Your breath is as the rose is sweet
Mine as the sulfur strong
And if you get one kiss from my lips
Your time will not be long."
"'Tis down in yonder garden green
Love, where we used to walk
The finest flower that e'er was seen
Is withered to a stalk."
"The stalk is withered and dried, sweetheart
And the flower will never return
And since I lost my own true love
What can I do but mourn?"
"Mourn not for me, my own true love
Mourn not for me, I pray
For I must leave you and all the world
And go into my grave."
And it feers small drops of rain
I never had but one true love
And in Greenwood he is lain
I'll do as much for my true love
As any young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For twelve months and a day
The twelve months and a day being done
The dead began to speak
"Oh, who sits weeping on my grave
And will not let me sleep?"
"'Tis I, your love, sits on your grave
And will not let you sleep
For I crave one kiss of your clay-cold lips
And that is all I seek."
"Your breath is as the rose is sweet
Mine as the sulfur strong
And if you get one kiss from my lips
Your time will not be long."
"'Tis down in yonder garden green
Love, where we used to walk
The finest flower that e'er was seen
Is withered to a stalk."
"The stalk is withered and dried, sweetheart
And the flower will never return
And since I lost my own true love
What can I do but mourn?"
"Mourn not for me, my own true love
Mourn not for me, I pray
For I must leave you and all the world
And go into my grave."
