Lyrics
My love, he built me a bonny bower And clad it o'er with lily flower A finer?bower?you ne'er did?see Than my true love he built?for me There came a man by middle day He spied his?sport?and?went away And brought?the King that?very night Who broke my bower and slew my knight He slew my knight to me so dear He slew my knight and poin'd his gear My servants all for life did flee And left me in extremity I sewed his sheet, making my moan I watched the corpse, myself alone I watched the body night and day Well, no living creature came that way I took his body on my back And whiles I went and whiles I sat I digged a grave and I laid him in And happed him with the sod so green But think not you that my heart was sore While I laid the moul' on his yellow hair Think not ye that my heart was wae When I turned around, away to go No living man I'll love again Since that my lovely knight is slain And with a lock of his yellow hair I'll chain my heart forevermore
