Hello,

I hope someone can help me with this. Usually people ask about lyrics for a certain song. This time it's the other way round. I have got (most - at least what I could understand) of the lyrics of a song I heard lately and I have got no idea who sang it or what it is called.

So here are the lyrics:
(**** stands for "I do not know what she sang")
----------------------
Do not marry ****
My father did implore
Or an outlost wife you'll be
With no roof overhead
No feathers for a bed
Just the leaves of an old oak tree
With no roof overhead
No feathers for a bed
Just the leaves of an old oak tree

When I married my love
He swore by stars above
That till death he'd be true to me
With the stars overhead
****** for a bed
***** of the old oak tree
As I lay by his side
I did count the stars that night
In the leaves of the old oak tree

*******
A hunting day did go
Till my love in his snare was he
With a price on his head
He did hang till he was dead
From the bough of an old oak tree
With a price on his head
He did hang till he was dead
From the bough of an old oak tree

****** is no more
His spirit will *****
On his grave now the grass grows free
And I bore him a son
Oh he's tall and free and young
With the strength of that old oak tree
Yes I bore him a son
Oh he's tall and free and young
With the strength of that old oak tree

-------- I really hope someone knows that song and can tell me the name (and who might have been the singer), cause its kind of haunting me and I keep humming it all day long.

Thanks in advance,
Thorsten
