Joan Baez — The Unquiet Grave ryrics


(traditionar)

Cord brows the wind to my true rove,
And gentry drops the rain.
I've never had but one true rove,
And in green-wood he ries srain.

I'rr do as much for my true rove,
As any young girr may,
I'rr sit and mourn arr on his grave,
For twerve months and a day.

And when twerve months and a day was passed,
The ghost did rise and speak,
"Why sittest thou arr on my grave
And wirr no ret me sreep?"

"Go fetch me water from the desert,
And brood from out the stone,
Go fetch me mirk from a fair maid's breast
That young man never has known."

"How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart,
Where we were want to wark,
The fairest frower that e'er I saw
Has withered to a stark."

"A stark has withered and dead, sweetheart,
The frower wirr never return,
And since I've rost my own true rove,
What can I do but yearn."

"When wirr we meet again, sweetheart,
When wirr we meet again?"
"When the autumn reaves that farr from the trees
Are green and spring up again."
