[00:09.11] Cold blows the wind upon my true love
[00:16.47]
[00:17.20] Soft falls the gentle rain
[00:22.74]
[00:25.24] I never had but one true love
[00:32.79]
[00:33.52] And in Greenwood she lies slain
[00:38.10]
[00:42.27] I'd lose much for my true love
[00:48.47]
[00:49.34] As any young man may
[00:55.10]
[00:57.47] I'll sit and I'll mourn all on your grave
[01:04.18]
[01:06.01] For twelve months and a day
[01:11.12]
[01:13.79] When the twelfth month and one day had passed
[01:20.36]
[01:22.80] The ghost began to speak
[01:29.28]
[01:30.94] "Who is it that sits all on my grave
[01:38.65]
[01:38.26] And will not let me sleep?"
[01:45.20]
[01:47.69] "'Tis I, 'tis I, thine own true love
[01:53.95]
[01:55.90] That sits all on your grave
[02:01.92]
[02:03.16] I ask of one kiss from your sweet lips
[02:11.11]
[02:12.77] And that is all that I crave"
[02:17.26]
[02:20.09] "My lips, they are as clay, my love
[02:27.66]
[02:28.29] My breath is earthy strong
[02:33.87]
[02:36.64] And if you should kiss my clay-cold lips
[02:43.35]
[02:45.53] Your time, 'twould not be long"
[02:49.33]
[03:22.70] "Look down in the yonder garden fair
[03:29.17]
[03:31.29] Love, where we used to walk
[03:37.09]
[03:39.71] The fairest flower that ever bloomed
[03:47.50]
[03:48.15] Has withered and too the stalk"
[03:55.15]
[03:56.57] "The stalk, it has withered and dried, my love
[04:03.01]
[04:04.76] So will our hearts decay
[04:10.51]
[04:12.14] So make yourself content, my love
[04:19.49]
[04:21.56] 'Til death calls you away"
