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
Lord Gregory is not here and he henceforth can't be seen He's gone to bonny Scotland to bring home his new queen
Leave now these windows and likewise this hall For it's deep in the sea you will find your downfall
Do you remember love Gregory when we sat at the wine We exchanged rings and aye the best was mine
Yours 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 Cappoquin You stole away my maidenhead and sore against my will
Now open these windows, open and let me in The rain rains on my good clothing and the dew stands on my chin
I have built a bonny boat all covered with pearl At at every needle tack in there hangs a silver bell
But I'll take down that mast of gold and set up a mast of tree For it does not suit a forsaken maid to sail so royally
So I'll leave now these windows and likewise this hall And it's deep in the sea I will find my downfallTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
