the suffolk miracle - jim moray lyrics

Loading...

a wealthy squire, lived in our town
he was a man of high renown
and he had one daughter, a beauty bright
and the name he gave her was his heart’s delight

many young men, to court her came
but none of them could her favour gain
till there came one, of low degree
and above them all, ah she fancied he

but when her father he came to know
that his lovely daughter loved this young man so
over fifty miles he sent her away
all to deprive her of her wedding day

one night as she lay in her bedroom
her love appeared from out the gloom
he kissed her cheek and this did say
“arise my darling and come away.”

it’s with this young man she got on behind
and they rode faster than any wind
they rode on for an hour or more
till he cries, “my darling, my head feels sore!”

a holland handkerchief she then pulled out
and with it bound his aching head about
she held him closer, and this did say
“my love, you’re colder than any clay!”
and when they came to her father’s gate
he said, “get down, love, for the hour is late!
get down, get down, love, and go to bed
and i’ll see this gallant horse is groomed and fed.”

and when she came to her father’s hall
“who’s that, who’s that?” her own father called
“’tis i dear father, did you send for me
by such a messenger?” naming he

“oh no dear daughter, that can not be
your words are false, and you lie to me!
for on yon mountain, your true love died
and in the grave now his body lies.”

so straight ways there went this lady brave
and with her friends, they exposed the grave;
and there his body, though six weeks dead
with a holland handkerchief all around his head
