kathryn roberts & sean lakeman - the red barn lyrics

Loading...

my name is william corder
to you i do declare:
i courted mary marten
both beautiful and fair

i promised that i’d marry her
all on one certain day
instead of that i was resolved
to take her life away

“if you’ll meet me at the red barn
as sure as i have life
i’ll take you up to ipswich town
and there make you my wife.”

i straight went home and fetched my gun
my pickaxe and my spade
i went unto the red barn
and there i dug a grave

with heart so light she thought no harm
to meet mе she did go
i murdered hеr all in the barn
and laid her body low

once the horrid deed was done
she laid there in her gore
her bleeding, lie forever
under the red barn floor
now for many a weary month or more
her spirit couldn’t rest
she appeared before her mother
her mind it couldn’t rest

her mother’s being so disturbed
she dreamed it three nights o’er
that her daughter she lay murdered
under the red barn floor

she sent the father to the barn
where he the ground did thrust
and there he found his daughter
lying in the dust

so all young men that do pass by
with pity look on me
for k!lling mary marten
it is hanged i will be

- kathryn roberts sean lakeman lyrics
