The wind it blows today, my love
A few small drops of rain
I never had but one true love
In cold grave he lies slain
ย
I'd do as much for my true love
As any young girl may
I'd sit and weep all at his grave
For twelve months and a day
ย
The twelve months and a day being up
The dead began to speak
"Oh, who's that weeping on my grave
And will not let me sleep?"
"'Tis I that sits all at your grave
And will not let you sleep
I crave one kiss of your cold clay lips
And that is all I seek"
ย
"You crave one kiss of my cold clay lips
But my breath smells earthly strong
And if you had one kiss of my cold clay lips
Your time would not be long"
'Tis down in yonder garden green
Love, where we used to walk
The fairest flower that ever was seen
Is withered to a stalk
The stalk is withered dry, my love
So will our hearts decay
So make yourself content, my love
Till God calls you away
