《George Collins》歌词

[00:00:00] George collins walked out one may morning

[00:00:08] When may was all in bloom

[00:00:12] There he espied a fair pretty maid

[00:00:19] A-washing her marble stone

[00:00:23] George Collins - A. L. Lloyd

[00:00:26] She whooped she hollered she highered her voice

[00:00:32] She held up her lily-white hand

[00:00:35] Come hither to me george collins she said

[00:00:40] For your life shall not last your long

[00:00:46] He put his foot on the broad water side

[00:00:51] And over the lea sprung he

[00:00:54] And he embraced her around the middle so small

[00:00:59] And kissed her red rosy cheeks

[00:01:05] George collins rode home to his father's own gate

[00:01:10] Rise mother and make my bed

[00:01:13] And i will trouble my dear sister

[00:01:17] For a napkin to tie around my head

[00:01:22] And if i should chance to die this night

[00:01:26] As i suppose i shall

[00:01:29] Bury me under that marble stone

[00:01:34] That's against fair eleanor's hall

[00:01:40] Fair eleanor sat in her room so fine

[00:01:45] Working her silken skein

[00:01:47] And she saw the fairest corpse a-coming

[00:01:53] That ever the sun shone on

[00:01:58] She said unto her irish maid

[00:02:04] Whose corpse is this so fine

[00:02:08] This is george collins' corpse a-coming

[00:02:14] That once was a true lover of thine

[00:02:20] Come put him down my six pretty lads

[00:02:25] And open his coffin so fine

[00:02:29] That i might kiss his lily-white lip

[00:02:34] For ten thousand times he has kissed mine

[00:02:41] You go upstairs and fetch me the sheet

[00:02:45] That's wove with the silver twine

[00:02:50] And hang that over george collins' head

[00:02:55] Tomorrow it shall hang over mine

[00:03:02] The news was carried to london town

[00:03:08] And wrote on london gate

[00:03:11] That six pretty maids died all of one night

[00:03:16] And all for george collins' sake
