Lyrics
Awake awake you drowsy traitor
Awake arise its almost day
How can you sleep such treacherous slumber
When you have all my heart away
You learned my secrets warmed in comfort
But left me cold now so it seems
You left me lying prone to crying
And beset my waking dreams.
Farewell my friends, farewell my family
Now I am bound while he goes free
I will go down to those far white mountains
Where the air is thin and you cannot see.
I thought I heard your voice a -shouting
I thought I heard you loud and clear
But it was just a faithless echo
And you were nothing I could call dear
I loved his face, I loved his body
I loved his voice when he sang with me
And every day brought port and brandy
To toast his name in a glass or three
Now take my heart I do not need it
I? with love?????
But I 'll sit here on my white mountain
And watch your beauty turn to stone ...
