Seeger Peggy - Grey Cock слова песни
GREY COCKJohnny he promised to marry meI fear he`s with some fair one and goneThere`s something that ails him and I don`t know what it isBut I`m weary of lying aloneJohnny he came at the appointed hourKnocked on her window so slowThis young girl arose and hurried on her clothesAnd she bid her true love welcome homeShe took him by the hand and she laid him downFound he was as cold as the clayShe said, my dearest dear, if only I had my wishThis long night would never turn to dayWhere is your soft bed of down, my dear?Where are your white holland sheets?And where is the fair girl who watches over youAs you lie every night in your sleep?The sea is my soft bed of down, he saidSand be my white holland sheetThe little hungry fishes they do feed off meAs I lie every night in the deepThen oh my little cock, my handsome little cock,Don`t crow till tis long after dayYour cage will be of the purest beaten goldAnd your door of the sweet ivoryBut him a being young, he crowed so very soonCrowed three long hours before dayThis young man arose and he hurried on his clothesFarewell love, for I must go awayWhen will you come back again, my loveWhen will you come back again?When little fishes fly and the seas they do run dryAnd the hard rocks do melt in the sunChild #248recorded by Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl on Blood and Rosessee also NITEVIST WILIGHOS AREUSLEPfilename[ GREYCOCKSF===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
