Lyrics

[00:01.68] Cold blows the wind to my true love,
[00:10.73] And gently drops the rain.
[00:18.14] I've never had but one true love,
[00:25.96] And in green-wood he lies slain.
[00:36.03] I'll do as much for my true love,
[00:44.20] As any young girl may,
[00:51.56] I'll sit and mourn all on his grave,
[00:59.09] For twelve months and a day.
[01:09.41] And when twelve months and a day was passed,
[01:16.97] The ghost did rise and speak,
[01:24.58] "Why sittest thou all on my grave“
[01:32.14] And will no let me sleep?"
[01:41.62] "Go fetch me water from the desert,“
[01:49.26] And blood from out the stone,
[01:56.32] Go fetch me milk from a young maid's breast
[02:04.70] That young man never has known."
[02:14.47] "When will we meet again, sweetheart,“
[02:21.69] When will we meet again?"
[02:28.81] "When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees“
[02:36.72] Are green and spring up again."
