Lyrics

[00:23.46] How pleasant is the wind tonight
[00:29.26] I feel some drops of rain
[00:35.00] I never had but one true love
[00:40.83] In greenwood he lies slain
[00:46.86] I'll do so much for my true love
[00:52.34] As any young girl may
[00:59.07] I'll sit and mourn all on your grave
[01:04.87] For twelve months and a day
[01:13.28] The twelve months and a day being up
[01:18.82] The ghost began to speak
[01:24.59] Why sit you here and mourn for me
[01:30.38] And you will not let me sleep
[01:36.28] What do you want of me sweetheart
[01:42.01] Oh what is it you crave
[01:48.49] Just one kiss of your lily white lips
[01:54.12] And that is all I crave
[02:34.51] Oh don't you see the fire sweetheart
[02:40.44] The fire that burns so blue
[02:46.12] Where my poor soul tormented is
[02:52.00] All for the love of you
[02:58.08] And if you weren't my own sweetheart
[03:03.47] As I know you well to be
[03:09.80] I'd rend you up in pieces small
[03:15.23] As leaves upon a tree
[03:20.85] Mourn not for me thine own true love
[03:27.13] Mourn not for me I crave
[03:33.41] I must leave you and all the world
[03:39.37] And turn into my grave
[03:45.41] And turn into my grave
