| Down in yon forest there stands a hall
|
| The bells of paradise I heard them ring
|
| Covered all over with purple and pall
|
| And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
|
| And in that hall there stands a bed
|
| The bells of paradise I heard them ring
|
| Covered all over with scarlet so red
|
| And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
|
| And at the bed side there stands a stone
|
| The bells of paradise I heard them ring
|
| Where the sweet Virgin Mary has knelt upon
|
| And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
|
| Under that bed there runs a flood
|
| The bells of paradise I heard them ring
|
| The one half runs water, the other runs blood
|
| And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
|
| At the bed’s foot there grows a thorn
|
| The bells of paradise I heard them ring
|
| Which ever blows blossom since Adam was born
|
| And I love my Lord Jesus above anything |
