《Fair Margeret and Sweet William》歌词

[00:00:01] lady margret was standing in her own room door

[00:00:05] a comb in her long yellow hair

[00:00:09] when who did she spy but sweet william and his bride

[00:00:14] as to the churchyard they drew near

[00:00:19] the day passed away and the night coming on

[00:00:24] most of the men were asleep

[00:00:28] lady margret appeared all dressed in white

[00:00:32] standing at his bed feet

[00:00:37] she said "how do you like your bed? and how do you like your sheet?

[00:00:46] and how do you like your fair, young bride

[00:00:50] that's laying in your arms asleep?"

[00:00:55] he said "very well do i like my bed.

[00:01:00] much better do i like my sheet

[00:01:04] but most of all that fair, young girl

[00:01:09] standing at my bed feet"

[00:01:14] then once he kissed her lily white hand

[00:01:17] and twice he kissed her cheek

[00:01:21] three times he kissed her cold corpsy lips

[00:01:27] then he fell into her arms asleep

[00:01:31] when the night passed away and the day came on

[00:01:35] and into the morning light

[00:01:40] sweet william said "i'm troubled in my head

[00:01:48] such dreams, such dreams as these

[00:01:52] i know they mean no good

[00:01:56] for i dreamed that my bower was full of red swine

[00:02:01] and my bride's bed full of blood"

[00:02:05] he asked "is lady margret in her room?

[00:02:09] or is she out in the hall?"

[00:02:13] but lady margret lay in a cold, black coffin

[00:02:18] with her face turned to the wall

[00:02:22] throw back, throw back those snow white robe

[00:02:28] be they ever so fine

[00:02:32] and let me kiss those cold corpsy lips

[00:02:36] for i know they'll never kiss mine

[00:02:40] then once he kissed her lily white hand

[00:02:45] and twice he kissed her cheek

[00:02:49] three times he kissed her cold corpsy lips then he fell into her arms asleep
