[Verse 1]
Wind doth blow today my love
A few small drops of rain
I never had but one true love
In a cold grave she lies slain
[Verse 2]
I'll do as much for my true love
As any young man may
I'll sit and mourn all at her grave
For twelve months and a day
[Chorus 1]
The twelve months and the day being up
The dead began to speak
"Oh who sits weeping on my grave
And will not let me sleep?"
[Verse 3]
"It's me my love, sits on your grave
And will not let you sleep
I crave one kiss of your cold clay lips
And that is all I seek."
[Chorus 2]
"You crave one kiss if my cold clay lips?
My breath smells earthly strong
If you've one kiss of my cold clay lips
Your time will not be long."
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
"See down in yonder garden green
Love, where we used to walk?
The finest flower that e'er was seen
Is withered to a stalk."
[Chorus 3]
"The stalk is withered dry my love
So will our hearts decay
So make yourself content my love
'Till God calls you away."
