about

The great traditional song of love and ghosts from the British Isles. Arranged by He Mistook Her For A Swan

lyrics

My young love said to me
My bother won't mind
And my father won’t slight you
For your lack of kine
and she turned her head to me
and this she did say
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day

she turned away from me
And she moved through the fair
and I watched her so swiftly
Move here and move there
And she turned her way homeward
With one star awake
like a swan in the evening
Moved over the lake


Last night I did dream
That my dead love came in
So softly she entered
That her feet made no din
and she turned her head to me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
