steeleye span - locks and bolts lyrics

Loading...

’twas over hills and over hills
over hills and valleys
where my true love was kept from me
quite out of spite and malice

i went down to her father’s house
enquiring for my jewel
they answered me, “she is not here”
which proved to me so cruel

this fair maid hearing of his voice
her head put out the window
she said, “my dear, you’re welcome here
but locks and bolts do hinder”

oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder
oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder

he stood a moment all in amaze
all in amaze and wonder
at length he drew, in passion flew
and broke the door asunder

her uncle’s servant, he being at home
soon after him did follow
he said, “young man, you must quit here
or in your own blood wallow”
he took his true love all by the hand
his sword all in the other
he said, “if you have more right than i
then come and fight the other”

oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder
oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder

and now these two in wedlock joined
they do adore each other
they oft times think all on that day
when the door he broke asunder

oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder
oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder

oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder
oh, locks and bolts
locks and bolts will hinder
