Lyrics

[00:00.55] The ring is on my hand
[00:04.09]
[00:04.90] And the wreath is on my brow
[00:09.13]
[00:09.97] Satin and jewels grand
[00:13.44]
[00:14.47] Are all at my command
[00:19.13]
[00:20.00] And I am happy now
[00:25.85]
[00:30.67] And my Lord he loves me well
[00:34.22]
[00:34.96] But when first he breathed his vow
[00:38.66]
[00:39.25] I felt my bosom swell
[00:43.15] For the words rang as a knell
[00:47.40] And the voice seemed his who fell
[00:51.40] In the battle down the dell
[00:55.88] And who is happy now
[01:02.27]
[01:04.30] But he spoke to re-assure me
[01:08.56] And he kissed my pallid brow
[01:12.33] While a reverie came over me
[01:16.87] And to the church-yard bore me
[01:20.80] And I sighed to him before me
[01:25.08]
[01:25.65] Thinking him dead delormie
[01:29.65] Oh I am happy now
[01:35.24]
[01:55.55] Oh
[02:11.78] That I am happy now
[02:17.02]
[02:19.75] And thus the words were spoken
[02:23.44]
[02:23.96] And this the plighted vow
[02:27.47]
[02:28.02] And though my faith be broken
[02:31.65]
[02:32.30] And though my heart be broken
[02:36.11]
[02:36.74] Here is a ring as token
[02:40.58] That I am happy now
[02:46.38]
[02:48.73] Would God I could awaken
[02:53.26] For I dream I know not how
[02:57.16] And my soul is sorely shaken
[03:01.36] Lest an evil step be taken
[03:05.52] Lest the dead who is forsaken
[03:09.86] May not be happy now
[03:15.68]
[03:18.89] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[03:52.52] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[04:25.41]
