hedy west - lady beauty bright lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
once i courted a lady beauty bright
courted her by day, i courted her by night
i courted her for love and love i did obtain
didn’t have no reason nor right to complain

[verse 2]
when her old parents come for to know
they locked her up so tight, kept her so secure
they locked her up so tight, kept her so secure
i didn’t get the sight of my dear anymore

[verse 3]
i resolved to the army to go
to see if i could forget my love or no
when i got there, the army shone so bright
it put me in fresh mind of my own heart’s delight

[verse 4]
for seven long years, i served the king and roamed
at the end of seven years, i returned to my home
my heart so full of love, my eyes so full of tears
what would i give to meet with my dear

[verse 5]
i resolved to her mother’s house to go
to see if my love forgot me or no
when i got there, her mother wept and cried
said, “my daughter loved you dearly and for your sake, she died”
[verse 6]
me, like a madman, was struck and was slain
tears rolled down my cheeks like rain
all my grief i cannot bear
my love’s in her grave and i long to be there

[verse 7]
when i arose to my senses again
i picked up a pen, i wrote down the same
come one and all, wherever you may be
come pity my misfortune, my sad misery
