the brown girl - steeleye span lyrics
traditional
i’m as brown as brown can be
my eyes are black as sloe
i’m as brick as a night-time nightingale
as wild as the forest doe
my love was high and proud
a fortune by his side
but a fairer maiden than ever i’ll be he took to his bride
he sent me a letter of love
he sent it from the town
he wrote to tell me his love was gone
because i was so brown
i sent back his letter of love
and in anger i wrote down
your love is wasted on such as me
because i am so brown
chorus
i’ll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day
i’ll do as much for you as any maiden may
i’ll make you rue the very day that you were born
i’m a bonny brown girl
i heard not another word more
until six months p-ssed by
a doctor said he had a broken heart
without me he would die
i went to his bedside
i walked and never ran
i laughed so loud and then louder still
all at this love-sick man
chorus
‘i prithee forget, said he
‘i prithee forget and forgive
oh, grant me just a little sp-ce
that i may be well and live
chorus
i’ll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day
for twelve months and a day
you’ll die for betraying a bonny brown girl
all on one summer’s day
chorus
