[00:06.00]George Collins walked out one May morning
[00:16.23]When May was all in bloom
[00:24.59]And who should he see but a fair pretty maid
[00:34.76]A washing her white marble stone
[00:42.83]
[00:47.22]She whooped she hollered she called so loud
[00:55.11]She waved her lily-white hand
[01:00.86]Come hither to me George Collins cried she
[01:07.70]For your life it won't last you long
[01:13.04]He put his bumboat down by the bank side
[01:17.66]Across the river sprung he
[01:21.38]He gripped his hands round her middle so small
[01:26.99]And he kissed her red ruby lips
[01:29.95]Then he rode home to his father's own house
[01:34.77]Loudly knocked with the ring
[01:38.25]A rise,a rise
[01:39.91]My farther he cried
[01:43.83]Rise and please let me in
[01:46.55]Oh
[01:47.60]A rise,a rise dear mother he cried
[01:51.18]Rise and make up my bed
[01:54.92]A rise, a rise
[01:56.53]Dear sister he cried
[01:58.45]Get a napkin to tie wound my head
[02:01.43]For  if i should die tonight
[02:05.96]And if I should chance to die tonight
[02:05.98]As I suppose I shall
[02:09.94]Please bury me neat that white marble stone
[02:13.56]That lies in fair Ellender's hall
[02:17.49]
[02:42.35]Fair Ellender sat all in her hall
[02:47.14]Weaving her silks so fine
[02:50.84]And who should she see but the finest corpse
[02:54.21]That ever her eyes shone on
[02:57.24]Fair Ellender called unto her head maid
[03:01.73]Whose corpse is this so fine
[03:05.61]She made her reply George Collins' corpse
[03:09.19]An old true love of mine
[03:13.07]
[03:18.38]Oh put him down my brave little boys
[03:24.38]And open his coffin so wide
[03:27.90]That I may kiss his red ruby lips
[03:31.48]Ten thousand times they've kissed mine
[03:35.21]This news being carried to fair London town
[03:38.98]Wrote on London gate
[03:42.66]Six pretty maids died all in one night
[03:49.96]'Twas all for George Collins' sake
[03:59.31]
