[00:01.05] I am stretched on your grave
[00:05.11] And I'll lie here forever
[00:08.75] If you hands were in mine
[00:12.46] I'd be sure they would not sever
[00:16.73] My apple tree, my brightness,
[00:20.49] It's time we were together
[00:23.99] For I smell by the Earth
[00:27.57] And I'm worn by the weather.
[00:32.51]
[00:33.37] When my family think
[00:37.18] That I'm safely in my bed
[00:40.73] Oh, from morn until night
[00:44.39] I am stretched out at your head
[00:48.27] Calling out unto the earth
[00:52.21] With tears hot and wild
[00:56.01] For the loss of a girl
[00:59.29] That I loved as a child.
[01:04.67]
[01:05.45] Do you remember the night
[01:08.74] Oh, the night when we were lost
[01:12.12] In the shade of the blackthorn
[01:16.49] And the touch of the frost?
[01:20.32] Oh, and thanks be to Jesus
[01:23.97] We did all that was right
[01:26.94] And your maidenhead still
[01:31.25] Is your pillar of light.
[01:46.76]
[01:51.33] Oh, the priests and the friars
[01:54.63] They approach me in dread
[01:58.07] Oh, for I love you still
[02:01.56] Oh, my life, and you're dead
[02:05.24] I still will be your shelter
[02:09.49] Through rain and through storm
[02:12.86] And with you in your cold grave
[02:16.69] I cannot sleep warm
[02:20.92]
[02:21.66] I am stretched on your grave
[02:25.19] And I'll lie here forever
[02:28.94] If you hands were in mine
[02:32.67] I'd be sure they would not sever
[02:36.56] My apple tree, my brightness,
[02:40.28] It's time we were together
[02:43.86] For I smell by the Earth
[02:47.20] And I'm worn by the weather.
[02:53.42]
[02:56.42]
[02:59.34] End.
