Intro :

Cold b lows the wind to m y true l ove

A nd g ently drops the r ain

I've n ever h ad but o ne true l ove

A nd in g reen-wood h e lies s lain

I'll d o as much for m y true l ove

A s an y young girl ma y

I'll s it and m ourn all o n his g rave

F or a- t welve month a nd a d ay

And wh en twelve months and a d ay was p assed

T he g host did rise and s peak

"Why s ittest t hou all o n my g rave

A nd w ill not l et me s leep? "

"Go f etch me water f rom the des ert

A nd b lood from out of a s tone

Go f etch me m ilk from a f air maid's b reast

T hat a y oung man n ever has k nown. "

"How o ft on yonder g rave sweeth eart

W here w e were wont to w alk

The f airest f lower that e 'er I s aw

H as w ithered t o a s talk."

"The s talk is withered and d ead sweeth eart

T he f lower will never ret urn.

And si nce I've l ost my o wn true l ove

W hat c an I d o but y earn."

"When w ill we meet ag ain sweeth eart.

W hen w ill we meet ag ain? "

"When the a utumn l eaves that f all from the t rees

A re g reen and s pring up ag ain."
