lyrics

Cold blows the wind to my true love
And gently drops the rain
I never had but one sweetheart
And in Greenwood she lies slane

I'll do as much for my sweetheart
As any young man may
I sit and mourn all on her grave
For a twelve month and a day

There's one thing that I want
There's one thing that I crave
And that is a kiss from your lily white lips
Then I'll go from your grave

My breast it is as cold as clay
My breath smells earthly strong
And if you kiss my cold clay lips
Your days they won't be long

Go fetch me water from the dessert
And blood from out of a stone
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
That a young man never had known

Oh down in yonder grove, sweetheart
Where you and I would walk
The first flower that ever I saw
Is withered to a stalk

The stalk is withered and dry, sweetheart
And the flower will never return
And since I left my own sweetheart
What can I do but mourn

When shall we meet again, sweetheart
When shall we meet again
When the oaken leafs that fall from the trees
Are green and spring up again
