• The Unquiet Grave

Cold blows the wind over my true love,
Cold blows the drops of rain,
I never had but one true love
And in Greenwood he lies slain.

“I'll do as much for my true love
As any young girl may,
I'll sit and weep down by his grave
For twelve months and a day.”

But when twelve months they were up and gone
This young man he arose:
“What makes you sit by my grave and weep?
I can't take my repose!”

“One kiss, one kiss from you lily-white lips,
One kiss is all I crave.
One kiss, one kiss from you lily-white lips,
Then return back to your grave.”

“These lips they are as cold as clay,
My breath is heavy and strong.
if you were to kiss these lily-white lips
Your life would not be long.

“Oh, don't you remember the garden grove,
Where once we used to walk?
Go pick the finest flower of them all,
It will wither to a stalk.

“Go fetch me a flower from the dungeon deep,
Bring water from a stone.
Bring white milk from a virgin's breast
That baby never bore none.”

“Go dig me a grave both wide and deep,
Dig it as quick as you may.
That I may lay down and take a long sleep
For twelve months and a day.
