Steeleye Span - Lord Gregory lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Lord Gregory lyrics]
I am a King's daughter
Come straight from Cappoquin
In search of Lord Gregory, may god
I'll find him
The rain beats at my yellow locks
The dew wets me still
The babe is cold in my arms, love
Lord Gregory let me in
The rain rains on my good clothing
The dew stands on my chin
The babe is cold in my arms, love
Lord Gregory let me in
Do you remember, love Gregory
That night in Cappoquin?
We exchanged handkerchiefs and sore
Against my will
For yours it was fine linen, love
And mine but course cloth
Yours, it cost a guinеa, love
And mine but one groat
Do you rеmember, love Gregory
As we sat at the wine? We exchanged rings
And aye the best was thine
For yours it was the purest gold
And mine but false tin
Yours, it cost a guinea, love, but aye
'twas false within
Do you remember, love Gregory
That night in my father's hall?
You stole away my maidenhead
And that's the worst of all
Lord Gregory is not here and
He henceforth can't be seen
For he's gone to bonny Scotland to
Bring home his new queen
Lord Gregory is not here and
He lately has gone
He's gone to bonny Scotland to
Bring his new bride home
So leave now these windows
And likewise this hall
For it's deep in the sea
You will find your downfall
She's took her young son in her arms
Turned from that cold hall
Saying, "Deep in the sea we
Will find our downfall"
Come straight from Cappoquin
In search of Lord Gregory, may god
I'll find him
The rain beats at my yellow locks
The dew wets me still
The babe is cold in my arms, love
Lord Gregory let me in
The rain rains on my good clothing
The dew stands on my chin
The babe is cold in my arms, love
Lord Gregory let me in
Do you remember, love Gregory
That night in Cappoquin?
We exchanged handkerchiefs and sore
Against my will
For yours it was fine linen, love
And mine but course cloth
Yours, it cost a guinеa, love
And mine but one groat
Do you rеmember, love Gregory
As we sat at the wine? We exchanged rings
And aye the best was thine
For yours it was the purest gold
And mine but false tin
Yours, it cost a guinea, love, but aye
'twas false within
Do you remember, love Gregory
That night in my father's hall?
You stole away my maidenhead
And that's the worst of all
Lord Gregory is not here and
He henceforth can't be seen
For he's gone to bonny Scotland to
Bring home his new queen
Lord Gregory is not here and
He lately has gone
He's gone to bonny Scotland to
Bring his new bride home
So leave now these windows
And likewise this hall
For it's deep in the sea
You will find your downfall
She's took her young son in her arms
Turned from that cold hall
Saying, "Deep in the sea we
Will find our downfall"
