Verse 1
a most fair beauty bride
Courted her by day
and courted her by night
Oh, I courted her for love,
and her love I did obtain
Do you think I've any reason
or right to complain?
When her old parents, came for to know
They said with their daughter,
you shall never go
Well, they locked her in a dungeon,
they kept her most severe
I could not enjoy the sight
or the company of my dear
Well away to the north
to the wars he did go
To see whether he could
forgive his love or no
For seven long years fighting for his king
And in seven years or longer
it's he returned again
As I rode along
then my arms were shining bright
All in my mind was my
own fair beauty bride
Her old parents saw me coming,
they wrung their hands and cried
Saying, daughter loved you dearly
and for your sake she died
It struck me like a lamb,
like a lamb that was slain
Tears from my eyes fell like
showers of rain
Crying, oh, this pain I cannot bear
My true love's in her grave, Lord,
I wish that I was there you
