jim moray - the week before easter lyrics

Loading...

a week before easter, the morn bright and clear
and the sun it shone brightly, and keen blew the air
i went down to the forest to gather some flowers
but the forest would yield me no roses

well the first time i saw my love she was dressed all in white
made my eyes run with water, for dazzled my sight
now she’s gone and she’s left me, and cruelly done by me
she’s gone and got tied to another

and the next time i saw my love she was in the church stand
with a ring on her finger and a glove on her hand
well i thought to myself, i could have been that man
but she’s gone and got wed to another

well the parson that married them, he loudly did cry
“all of you that forbid it, i’d have you stand by”
well i thought to myself, i’ve a good reason why
but i hadn’t the heart to forbid it

so dig me a grave my love, dig it long, wide and deep
aye, and cover it all over, with flowers so sweet
i’ll lay me down, to take a long sleep
and maybe in time i’ll forget her
