[Verse 1] Wind doth blow today my love A few small drops of rain I never had but one true love In a cold grave she lies slain [Verse 2] Ill do as much for my true love As any young man may Ill sit and mourn all at her grave For twelve months and a day [Chorus 1] The twelve months and the day being up The dead began to speak Oh who sits weeping on my grave And will not let me sleep? [Verse 3] Its me my love, sits on your grave And will not let you sleep I crave one kiss of your cold clay lips And that is all I seek. [Chorus 2] You crave one kiss if my cold clay lips? My breath smells earthly strong If youve one kiss of my cold clay lips Your time will not be long. [Instrumental] [Verse 4] See down in yonder garden green Love, where we used to walk? The finest flower that eer was seen Is withered to a stalk. [Chorus 3] The stalk is withered dry my love So will our hearts decay So make yourself content my love Till God calls you away.
