The Ghost Lover |
Johnny, he promised to marry her |
She fears he’s with some fair one and gone |
There’s something that ails him and she don’t know what it is |
And she’s weary of lying alone |
Johnny he came at the appointed hour |
Tapped at the window so slow |
This fair maid arose and she hurried on her clothes |
And she bid her true love welcome home |
She took him by the hand and she lay him down |
Felt he was as cold as the clay |
She said, «My dearest dear, if I only had my wish |
This long night would never turn to day» |
«Oh, where is your soft bed of down, my love? |
Where is your white Holland sheet? |
And where is the fair maid who watches over you |
As you lie in your long, dreamless sleep?» |
«The sea is my soft bed of down, my love |
The sand is my white Holland sheet |
And the long, hungry worms they do feed off of me |
As I lie every night in the deep» |
«Oh, when shall I see you my love?» |
she cried |
«When shall I see you again?» |
«When little fishes fly and the seas they do run dry |
And the hard rocks do melt with the sun |
When little fishes fly and the seas they do run dry |
And the hard rocks do melt with the sun» |
