i sowed some seeds - martin carthy lyrics

Loading...

when first to london town i came
i took my lodging all at some inn
for full five months i did remain
but being a stranger i fell in danger
doing so, doing so

the landlord had a daughter fair
she was a beauty i do declare
in her bedchamber i dared not go
but being a stranger i fell in danger
doing so, doing so

she’d ruby lips and she’d eyes of blue
they caused me to love her so;
i kissed her lips, her bosom too
but being a stranger i fell in danger
doing so, doing so

all in the grove my seed was sown
all in the grove where grew no green
the more i kissed her, this girl being young
the more i kissed her her eyes did glister
like the rising of the sun

the seeds of love, they grew apace
the tears they blossomed all on her face
all for to reap it i would not stay
but being a stranger i fell in danger
ran away, i ran away

now when nine long months they were gone and past
this pretty girl had her babe at last
she must keep it like it was her own
and reap the seeds i myself have sown
doing so, doing so
