the grey c*ck lyrics
[verse 1]
“i must be going, no longer staying
the burning thames i have to cross
for i will be guided without a stumble
into the arms, my love depends.”

[verse 2]
when he came to his true love’s window
he knelt down gently on a stone
and it’s through the pane he whispered softly
“my darling dear, do you lie alone?”

[verse 3]
she rose herself from her down*soft pillow
and snowy were her milk*white br**sts
saying, “who’s there, who’s there at my bedroom window
disturbing me from my long night’s rest?”

[verse 4]
“it is i, your lover, don’t discover
i pray you rise and let me in
for i am fatigued out of my long night’s journey
besides, i am wet unto my skin.”

[verse 5]
now this young girl rose and put on her clothing
so swift she’s let her true love in
and it’s then they kissed, and embraced each other
through that long night they lay as one
[verse 6]
then it’s “willie dear, o dear handsome willie
where is that colour you had some time ago?”
“o mary dear, the clay has changed me
i am but the ghost of your willie o.”

[verse 7]
“then it’s c*ck, o c*ck, o handsome c*ckerel
i pray you not crow before it is day
for your wings are made of the very first beaten gold
and your comb i’ll make of the silver grey.”

[verse 8]
but the c*ck it crew, and it crew so fully
it crew three hours before it was day
and before it was day my love had to leave me
not by the light of the moon nor the light of the sun

[verse 10]
then it’s “willie dear, o handsome willie
when shall i see you again?”
“when the fish’s fly, love, and the sea runs dry, love
and the rocks they melt in the heat of the sun.”
