| [00:16.26] |
I have myself a silver blade |
| [00:19.90] |
The edge is sharp the handle bone |
| [00:21.61] |
A little thing of silver made |
| [00:25.46] |
Now it's the only thing I own |
| [00:33.54] |
Once I knew a lordling fine |
| [00:36.30] |
I heard him whistle as he rode |
| [00:38.81] |
And I was bold enough to call him mine |
| [00:43.10] |
The shoes upon his horse were gold |
| [00:47.34] |
Shoes were gold |
| [00:49.44] |
|
| [00:50.50] |
One look in my eyes and he |
| [00:53.35] |
Bid me climb onto his horse |
| [00:56.10] |
He asked if I'd his lady be |
| [01:00.21] |
And come away forever more |
| [01:07.92] |
He spoke of love songs in each kiss |
| [01:10.70] |
And I who was a young girl then |
| [01:13.42] |
Was promised every young girl's bliss |
| [01:17.51] |
Got up and rode away with him |
| [01:24.78] |
Away with him |
| [01:26.87] |
|
| [01:28.18] |
He took me to his castle tall |
| [01:31.30] |
With promises and jewels until |
| [01:33.75] |
He led me through his castle hall |
| [01:37.91] |
Then took my clothes and worked his will |
| [01:45.59] |
And when he had and I lay there |
| [01:48.53] |
From my head with a silver blade |
| [01:51.38] |
He cut a lock of coal black hair |
| [01:55.43] |
And bid me dress and go my way |
| [02:00.16] |
Go my way |
| [02:03.29] |
|
| [02:27.43] |
But I marked well the silver blade |
| [02:30.11] |
And where he set it when he did |
| [02:32.82] |
And when his back was turned I laid |
| [02:35.74] |
It buried deep beneath his ribs |
| [02:43.24] |
I used my dagger as a spade |
| [02:46.22] |
Where the thorns and lilacs grow |
| [02:48.97] |
Cut the ground into a grave |
| [02:53.70] |
In a place even God don't know |
| [02:59.43] |
|
| [03:00.73] |
And every evening I returned |
| [03:03.57] |
To the place for him I'd chose |
| [03:06.19] |
Until his skin had turned to worms |
| [03:10.41] |
Wild dogs scattered round his bones |
| [03:17.88] |
And all I have of what I was |
| [03:20.98] |
Is the memory of a maid |
| [03:23.67] |
Who mistook a thief for love |
| [03:27.73] |
But who gained a silver blade |
| [03:37.57] |
Silver Blade |
