lord lovel - frank proffitt lyrics

Loading...

lord lovel, he stood by his castle door
he was a*comin’ ’his milk*white still
and along come lady nancy bell
a*wishin’ her lover good speed
she’s a*wishin’ her lover good speed

“oh, where are you going, lord lovel?” she said
“oh, where are you goin’?” said she
“i’m a*goin’, dear lady nancy bell
‘strange countries far to see
‘strange countries far to see”

“when will you be back, lord love?” she said
“when will you be back?” said she
“in a year or two, or three at the most
i’ll return to my lady nancy
i’ll return to my lady nancy”

he hadn’t been gone but a year at the most
strange countries far to see
when languishing thoughts come deep in his heart
lady nancy he would see
lady nancy he would see

so he mounted up to his milk*white steed
and he rode to london’s far town
he heard st. barnie’s bells ring out
and people was a*mornin’ around
people was a*mornin’ around
“is anyone dead?” lord love, he said
“is anyone dead?” said he
“some called her lady nancy bell
some called her lady nancy
some called her lady nancy”

he had the grave opened forthwith
the pall fallin’ down
and then he kissed her cold, cold lips
while tears come a*tricklin’ down, down, down
tears come a*tricklin’ down

now they buried her in the old church*yard
lord lovel they buried beside her
and out of her bosom there grew a red rose
and out of lord lovel’s a brier
out of lord lovel’s a brier

they growed and they growed to the old church*yard
they couldn’t grow any higher
and there they tied in a true love’s knot
the rose around the brier
the rose the brier
