judy cook – sweet william lyrics
twas in the merry, merry month of may
when he meadows look fresh and g+y
he hung his bugles round about his neck
and he went riding away
he rode till he came to fair ellen’s home
he knocked, and he tingled at the ring
asleep or awake dear ellen i said
pray arise and let me in
fair eleanor arose, and slipped on her clothes
to let sweet william in
no+one was so ready as fair ellen herself
to arise and let him in
he mounted upon her milk white steed
himself on the iron gray
he hung his bugles round about his neck
and they went riding away
they rode till they came three miles to the place
they stopped and they looked all around
they looked and they saw some seven armed men
come hasting over the ground
get you down fair ellen i said
and take my steed in hand
till i go back to yonder spring
and stop those seven armed men
she stood till she saw her six brothers fall
her father fell so near
sweet william i said come and stop your case
for you seem almost too severe
she took a handkerchief from her side
twas made of linen so fine
she took and she wiped his bleeding, bleeding wounds
for the blood ran red as any wine
he mounted upon her milk white steed
himself on the iron gray
he hung his bugles round about his neck
and they went riding away
they rode till they came to his mother’s home
he knocked, and he tingled at the ring
asleep or awake dear mother i said
come arise, and let me in
his mother arose, and slipped on her clothes
to let sweet william in
no one was so ready as her mother herself
to arise and let sweet william in
mother i said, come bind up my head
you never shall bind it anymore
sweet william he died from the wounds that he bore
and fair ellen she died so
