GAY GREEN GOWN
(Graham & Eileen Pratt)
The proud lady Rode into the wood And there in her way The wicked one stood Now welcome proud lady Lie down, lie down And I will give you A gay green gown T'will punish thy pride For no honest bride Wears such a gown Wears such a gown A gay green gown
The proud lady Rode out of the wood And tears fell fast For her maidenhood I will not cause My mother to frown I will not sully My father's crown With my little pen knife I'll a take my young life And all for a gown All for a gown A gay green gown
The proud lady Laughed loudly in scorn No imp for the pit By me shall be born Now god me forgive That I take my young life For maid I am none And I'll never be wife A leman of hell In a flames I must dwell And all for a gown All for a gown A gay green gown
The proud lady She stabbed herself deep Her hearts blood trickled All down to her feet The gown that was green Was now crimson to see And red, red, red Was her winding sheet Now let the bell toll For this lost lady's soul And all for a gown All for a gown A gay green gown
