lyrics

How cold the wind do blow dear love
And see the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
In the green wood he was slain
And in the green wood he was slain

I would do as much for my own true love
As in my power lay
I would sit and mourn all on his grave
For a twelvemonth and a day
For a twelvemonth and a day

A twelvemonth and a day being passed
His ghost did rise and speak,
"What makes you mourn all on my grave?
For you you will not let me sleep.
For you will not let me sleep."

'Tis not your gold I want dear love
Nor yet your wealth I crave
But one kiss from your lily white lips
Is all that I wish to have
Is all that I wish to have

"Your lips are cold as clay dear love
Your breath does smell so strong
I am afraid my pretty maid
That your time will not be long
That your time will not be long."
