《The Grey Cock》歌词

[00:00:00] The Grey Cock - A. L. Lloyd

[00:00:05] I must be going no longer staying

[00:00:13] The burning thames i have to cross

[00:00:19] Oh i must be guided without a stumble

[00:00:27] Into the arms of my dear lass

[00:00:37] And when he came to his true love's window

[00:00:43] He knelt down gently all on a stone

[00:00:49] And it's through the pane he has whispered slowly

[00:00:55] My dear girl are you alone

[00:01:04] She rose her head from her down-soft pillow

[00:01:11] And snowy were her milk-white breasts

[00:01:18] Saying who's there who's there at my bedroom window

[00:01:25] Disturbing me from my long night's rest

[00:01:35] Oh i'm your lover don't discover

[00:01:41] I pray you rise love and let me in

[00:01:47] For i am fatigued out of my long night's journey

[00:01:54] Besides i'm wet into the skin

[00:02:03] Now this young girl rose and put on her clothing

[00:02:09] She quickly let her own true love in

[00:02:15] Oh they kissed shook hands and embraced together

[00:02:22] Till that long night was near an end

[00:02:31] Willie dear o dearest willie

[00:02:37] Where is that colour you'd some time ago

[00:02:43] O mary dear the clay has changed me

[00:02:50] I am but the ghost of your willie o

[00:02:58] Then o cock o cock o handsome cockerel

[00:03:05] I pray you not crow until it's day

[00:03:10] For your wings i'll make of the very first beaten gold

[00:03:17] And your comb i'll make of the silver ray

[00:03:26] But the cock it crew and it crew so fully

[00:03:32] It crew three hours before it was day

[00:03:37] And before it was day my love had to go away

[00:03:44] Not by the light of the moon nor the light of day

[00:03:54] Then it's willie dear o dearest willie

[00:04:01] Whenever shall i see you again

[00:04:07] When the fish they fly love and the sea runs dry love

[00:04:15] And the rocks they melt in the heat of the sun
