rich old jade - house and land lyrics

Loading...

my father, he was a rich old jade
my mother, she was a lady fair
and me, a*bein’ the only heir
my love has brought me to despair

it’s when i wore that long silk gown
he followed me from town to town
and now my apr*n just will tie
he passes my door and he won’t stop in

there is a street in yonders town
where my true love walks up and down
he takes another girl on his knee
and he says to her what he won’t tell me
he takes another girl his knee
oh ain’t it awful, grieve for me

there is a flower i’ve heard them say
can cure false love both night and day
it’s of this flower i did pull
until my apr*n was all full

i gathered black, i gathered blue
but none of these flowers i did find
could cure my heart or ease my mind

it’s out of these flowers i made a bed
and out of the leaves a pillow for my head
it’s down she lay and [?]
until her achin’ heart was broke

and in the meadows all around
i dreamt i heard a doleful sound
