Lyrics
Lady Margaret sitting in a high hall door
Combing her long yellow hair
She saw sweet William and his new-made bride
Riding from the church so near
She throwed down her ivory comb
She throwed back her long yellow hair
Said I'll go down to bid him farewell
And never more go there
It was all lately in the night
When they were fast asleep
Little Margaret appeared all dressed in white
Standing at their bed feet
Well how do you like your pillow said she
How do you like your sheet
And how do you like that gay young lady
Lying in your arms asleep
Very well do I like my pillow says he
Very well do I like my sheet
But better do I like that fair young lady
Standing at my bed feet
Once he kissed her lily white hand
Twice he kissed her cheek
Three times he kissed her cold corpsy lips
Fell in her arms asleep
Oh is little Margaret in her room
Or is she in the hall
No little Margaret's in her cold black coffin
Face turned to the wall
