SUFFOLK MIRACLE or SWEET WILLIAM`S GHOST (2)It`s of an old and wealthy manHe had a daughter and her name was AnnShe were handsome, fine and tallShe had a loving face withalSing lady, lady, lady fairMany a suitor had she thereA widow`s son of low degreeAmong them all, she fancied heSing courting, courting, courting caneThere`s many a courtship all in vainFor when her father came to knowHe sent her far, oh far from homeOne night as she were lying downThe quiet loosening of her gownShe heard a low and deathly soundSays, "Loose my bounds, I`m earthly bound"She looked out of her window clearShe seen her love on her father`s mare"Here`s your mother`s cloak, here`s your father`s roanThey sent me here, love, to bring you home"He`s mounted up, she`s on behindAnd they rode on with contented mindBut all along, complaint he made"Oh love, oh love, my head do ache"Her handkerchief from her neck aroundShe bound it round his head aroundHe set her down at her father`s doorThen her true love she saw no more"Awake, awake, awake," said she"Is no one here for to welcome me?""You`re welcome home, dear child," said he"But what trusty friend did come for thee?""Did you not send one I do adoreThat love so dear and must love no more?"Her father frowned and shook his headSays, "Your true love been one year dead"He`s summonsed clerk and clergy, tooThat grave was opened and him to viewAnd though he had been a twelvemonth deadHer handkerchief was bound round his headSo a warning to you old folks stillDon`t hinder young ones from their willThe first they love they`ll never forgetThough he be dead, she`ll love him yetChild #272recorded by Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl on Blood & Roses Ifilename[ WILIGHO2see also WILIGHOSSF===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
