border widow's lament - ye vagabonds lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my love, he built me a bonny bower
and clad it o’er with lily flower
a finer bower you ne’er did see
than my true love he built for me

[verse 2]
there came a man by middle day
he spied his sport and went away
and brought the king that very night
who broke my bower and slew my knight

[verse 3]
he slew my knight to me so dear
he slew my knight and poin’d his gear
my servants all for life did flee
and left me in extremity

[verse 4]
i sewed his sheet, making my moan
i watched the corpse, myself alone
i watched the body night and day
no living creature came that way

[verse 5]
i took his body on my back
and whiles i went and whiles i sat
i digged a grave and i laid him in
and happed him with the sod so green
[verse 6]
but think not you that my heart was sore
while i laid the moul’ on his yellow hair
think not ye that my heart was wae
when i turned about, away to go

[verse 7]
no living man i’ll love again
since that my lovely knight is slain
and with a lock of his yellow hair
i’ll chain my heart forevermore
