What Are The Lyrics For Fair Margaret and Sweet William By John Herrmann?
Lady Margaret 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 As to the church yard they drew near The day passed away and night coming on Most of the men were asleep Lady Margaret appeared all dressed in white Standing at his bed feet She said how do you like your bed How do you like your sheet How do you like your fair young bride That's lying in your arms asleep He said very well do I like my bed Much better do I like my sheet But most of all that fair young girl That's standing at my bed feet 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 the night passed away and the day came on 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 Margaret in her room Or is she out in the hall But Lady Margaret 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 Twice he kissed her cheek Three times he kissed her cold corpsy lips Then he fell into her arms asleep |
