Cold blows the wind tonight true love
Cold are the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
In Greenwood he lies slain
I'll do as much for my true love
As any young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For twelvemonth and a day
The twelvemonth and a day been gone
The ghost began to greet
(...)
If you have one kiss of my clay-cold lips,
Your time will not be long.
'Twas down in yonder garden green
There where we used to walk
The fairest flower that ere was seen
Is withered to the stalk
The stalk is withered dry my love
So must our hearts decay
Then rest yourself content my love
Till god pulls you away
Cold are the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
In Greenwood he lies slain
I'll do as much for my true love
As any young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For twelvemonth and a day
The twelvemonth and a day been gone
The ghost began to greet
(...)
If you have one kiss of my clay-cold lips,
Your time will not be long.
'Twas down in yonder garden green
There where we used to walk
The fairest flower that ere was seen
Is withered to the stalk
The stalk is withered dry my love
So must our hearts decay
Then rest yourself content my love
Till god pulls you away
