the witches of elswick - john of hazelgreen lyrics
an old knight rode one summer’s day
down by the greenwood side
and there he spied a fair young maid
and all alone she cried
as he drew near there unto her
to learn what this could mean;
her lamentation it was all
for john of hazelgreen
“you’re welcome home, my fair young one
you’re welcome home with me;
and you may wed my eldest son
a bold young man is he.”
“i would not wed your eldest son
if he werе lord or king;
i ne’er intend to bе the bride of none
save john of hazelgreen
“for he is tall, his shoulders broad
the fairest of the king;
his hair hangs down in links of gold
my john of hazelgreen.”
he’s drawn her up unto his steed
and they rode into town;
up jumped bold john of hazelgreen
to lift his lady down
three times he’s kissed her ruby lips
three times he’s kissed her chin;
he’s ta’en her by the lily+white hand
to lead his lady in
her tears were dry, her sorrow gone
but a surprise had been
to learn the old knight’s eldest son
was john of hazelgreen
“if i should ever thee forsake
may heaven forsake me;
and cast me in the brimstone lake
for all eternity.”
