shirley collins - calvary hill lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
joseph, husband, come tell me why
our lovely son was left for to die
too young was he, for his to blood to spill
down yon green slopes of calvary hill

[verse 2]
that little foot when the stable was bare
all wrapped in cree from the cold night
this heart of mine with grief would fill
to see his body hang on calvary hill

[verse 3]
hard is the iron that holds him there
sharp are the th+rns in his dark hair;
but harder yet, and darker still
are the hands that nailed him on calvary hill

[verse 4]
may god forgive them that did the deed:
the judge, the spy and the men of greed
to save a fortune my boy was k!lled
by roman soldiers on calvary hill

[verse 5]
comе joseph, husband, and let us go
to some somе lone corner and clean our wound
the cross may shake but the boy is still
his life is ended on calvary hill
