If this is a duplicate posting, I apologize. I searched DT and forum and didn't find it. Midi is on Barry Taylor's Great Canadian Songbook.
WHO IS AT MY WINDOW WEEPING
Who is at my window weeping,
Weeping there so bitterly?
"It's I, it's I, your own true loved one.
Arise, arise and pity me."
"Darling, go and ask your mother
If thou my wedding bride will be.
If she says no, return and tell me.
No longer will I trouble thee."
"How can I go and ask my mother,
For I'm her only child and dear?
Oh, darling, go and seek some other,"
She softly whisper'd in his ear.
"Darling, go and ask your father
If thou my wedding bride will be.
If he says no, return and tell me.
No longer will I trouble thee."
"My father's on his bed a-sleeping
With a shining sword placed on his breast
All for to slay my own true loved one,
To slay the lad that I love best."
Then William took the shining sword
And pierced it through his aching heart.
"Adieu, adieu to all false loved ones.
Adieu, adieu, we both shall part."
Then Mary took the bloodstained sword
And pierced it through her lily-white breast.
"Adieu, adieu to my cruel parents.
Adieu, adieu, we both shall rest."
