shirley collins - the oxford girl lyrics

Loading...

i fell in love with an oxford girl
she had a dark and a roving eye
but i feeled too ashamed for to marry her
her being so young a maid

i went up to her father’s house
about twelve o’clock one night
asking her if she’s take a walk
through the fields and meadows g+y

i took her by the lily+white hand
and i kissed her cheek and chin
but i had no thoughts of murdering her
nor in no evil way

i catched a stick from out the hedge
and i gently knocked her down
and blood from that poor innocent girl
came a+trinkling to the ground

i catched fast hold of her curly, curly locks
and i dragged her through the fields
until we came to a deep riverside
where i gently flung her in

look how she go, look how she floats
she’s a+drowning on the tide
and instead of her having a watery grave
she should have been my bride
