Lady Margaret
Lady Margret was standing in her own room door A comb in her long, yellow hair When, who did she spy but sweet William and his bride to the churchyard they drew near
Well, day passed away and night come on Most of the men were asleep Lady Margret appeared all dressed in white Standing at his bed feet
She said, 'And how do you like your bed? And how do you like your sheet? And how do you like that fair, young girl That's lying in your arms asleep?'
He said, 'And very well do I like my own bed Much better do I like my sheet But most of all that fair, young girl That's lying in my arms asleep'
Then, once he kissed her lily white hand Twice he kissed her cheek Three times he kissed her cold, corpsy lips Then he fell into her arms asleep
Well, then night passed away, the day came on Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And into the morning light Sweet William said, 'I'm troubled in my head By the dreams that I dreamed last night'
'Such dreams, such dreams as these I know they mean no good For I dreamed that my bower was full of red swine And my bride's bed full of blood'
He asked, 'Is Lady Margret in her room? Or is she out in the hall?' But Lady Margret lay in a cold, black coffin With her face turned to the wall
'Throw back, throw back those snow white robes Be they ever so fine And let me kiss those cold, corpsy lips For I know they'll never kiss mine'
Then, once he kissed her lily white hand And twice he kissed her cheek Three times he kissed her cold, corpsy lips Then he fell into her arms asleep
