stone angel - the gay goshawk lyrics

Loading...

oh well is me, my g+y goshawk
that you can speak and flee
for you can carry a love letter
to my true love from me

oh well, you shall, my true love, know
as soon as her, you see
for of all the flowers in fair england
the fairest flower is she

lord william has written a love letter
put it under his pinion grey
and he’s away to the southern land
as fast as his wings can go

oh first he sang a merry song
and then he sang a grave
and then he pecked his feathers grey
to her the letter he gave

have here a letter from lord william
he says he sent you three
he cannot wait your love longer
but for your sake, he’ll die

i sent him the heart that’s in my breast
what would my love have more?
and at mary’s kirk in fair scotland
you’ll bid him “wait for me there”
the lady’s gone to her father
and asking “grant you me
that if i die in fair england
in scotland, bury me”

at the first kirk of fair scotland
you cause the bells be rung
at the second kirk of fair scotland
you cause the mass be sung

but when you come to st. mary’s kirk
you’ll tarry there till night
and so her father pledged his word
and so his promise plight

the lady’s gone to her bower
as fast as she could fare
and she has drunk a sleeping draft
that she had mixed with care

and pale, pale grew her rosy cheek
and pale and cold was she
she seemed to be as surely dead
as any corpse could be

then up arose her brothers seven
and hewn to her a bier
they hewed it from the solid oak
laid it o’er with silver clear
at the first scot’s kirk that they came to
they caused the bells be rung
at the next scot’s kirk that they came to
they caused the mass be sung

but when they came to st. mary’s kirk
there stood spearmen in a row
and up and startled lord william
the chieftain among them all

he rent the sheet upon her face
a little above her chin
with rosy cheek and ruby lip
she looked and laughed at him

a morsel of your bread, my lord
and one glass of your wine
for i have fasted these three long days
all for your sake and mine
