[Verse 1]

Cold blows the wind over my true love

Cold blows the drops of rain

I never had but one true love

And in Camville, he was slain

I'll do as much for my true love

As any young girl may

I'll sit and weep down by his grave

For twelve month and one day

[Verse 2]

But when twelve months were come and gone

This young man, he arose

"What makes you weep down by my grave?

I can't take my repose"

"One kiss, one kiss of your lily white lips

One kiss is all I crave

One kiss, one kiss of your lily white lips

And return back to your grave"

[Verse 3]

My lips, they are as cold as my clay

My breath is heavy and strong

If thou was to kiss my lily white lips

Thy days would not be long

Oh, don't you remember the garden grove

Where we used to walk?

Pluck the finest flower of them all

'Twill wither to a stalk

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Go fetch me a nut from my dungeon deep

And water from a stone

And white milk from a maiden's breast

That babe 'ere never known

Go dig me a grave, both long, wide and deep

As quickly as you may

I'll lie down in it and take one sleep

For twelve month and one day

[Verse 1]

Cold blows the wind over my true love

Cold blows the drops of rain

I never had but one true love

And in Camville, he was slain

I'll do as much for my true love

As any young girl may

I'll sit and weep down by his grave

For twelve months and one day
