lyrics

The Wind doth blow today, my love
A few small drops of rain
I never had but one true-love
In cold grave she was lain

I'll do as much for my true-love
As any young man may;
I'll sit and mourn at her grave
For a twelvemonth and a day

When twelvemonth and a day had passed
The dead began to speak:
"Oh, who sits weeping on my grave
And will not let me sleep?"

'Tis I, my love, sits on your grave
And will not let you sleep
I crave one kiss of your clay-cold lips
And that is all I seek

"You crave one kiss of my clay-cold lips
But my breath smells earthly strong
If you have one kiss of my clay-cold lips
Your time will not be long"

'Tis down in younder garden green
Where we used to walk
The finest flower that ere was seen
Is withered to a stalk

"The stalk is withered dry, my love
So will our hearts decay
So make yourself content, my love
Till God calls you away"

The Wind doth blow today, my love
A few small drops of rain
I never had but one true-love
In cold grave she was lain
