robbie fulks - in bristol one bright day lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in bristol town one bright day
a stranger, he came riding
no work he sought
but a fair-haired girl to stay the night beside him
his clothes, they hung upon his frame
the face he wore was solemn
and on his tongue the strangest words
seemed so meek and common

[verse 2]
[?] fly east toward [your prey?]
across the clouds of heaven
his tracks from down from bristol town
to the iron mountain
[?] a fair-haired girl
in the iron hills she’s lying
cold moonlight up on her breast
a white sheet ’round her widening

[verse 3]
[?] your mother’s pride
and shame tonight you brought her
for by you sleeps a stranger
at your feet, another’s daughter
wake up, wake up the chill wind cries
the [?] in the stable
gone the young man from your bed
the child from her cradle

[verse 4]
she ran out in the midnight [?]
as fast her heart bled hollow
her face [?] this earth
her cries the dark did swallow
[?] west toward the town
the church bells, they are tolling
for on this night, the prince of death
a harlot’s heart has stolen

[outro]
in bristol town one bright day
a stranger, he came riding
no work he sought
but a fair-haired girl to stay the night beside him
