kossoy sisters - unquiet grave lyrics

Loading...

cold blows the wind to my true love
and gentle drops the rain
i never had but one true love
and in green wood, she lies slain
and in green wood, she lies slain

i’ll due the best for my true love
that any young man may
i’ll sit and mourn all on her grave for a 12 month and a day
for a 12 month and a day

when a 12 month and a day was passed
the ghost began to speak
“why, sit is here all on my grave
and will not let me sleep?
and will not let me sleep?”

it’s i, true love, sit by your grave
and will not let you sleep
for i crave one kiss of your clay cold lips
and that is all i seek
and that is all i seek”

my breast it is as cold as clay
my breath is earthy strong
and if you kiss my clay cold lips
your days, they won’t be long
your days, they won’t be long
go fetch me water from the desert
and blood from out of a stove
go fetch me milk from a fair maiden’s breast
that a young man never has known
that a young man never has known

it was down in yonder garden green
love where we used to walk
the fairest flower that ever was seen is withered to the stalk
is withered to the stalk

the stalk is withered and dry, sweetheart
and the flower will never return
and since i lost my own true love
what can i do but mourn?
what can i do but mourn?

when shall we meet again, sweetheart?
when shall we meet again?
when the oaken leaves that fall from the trees are green and spring up again
are green and spring up again
