Lord Lovel 가사

Lord Lovel stood at his castle gate, A-combing his milk-white steed Along comes Lady Nancy Bell, Wishing her lover good speed Wishing her lover good speed "Where are you going, Lord Lovel?" she said, "O where are you going?" said she "I'm going, my dear Nancy Bell, Strange countries for to see Strange countries for to see." "And Will you return, Lord Lovel?" she said, "Oh, will you return to me?" "In a year or two or three I'll return to my Lady Nancy Return to my Lady Nancy." He hadn't been gone but a year and a day, Strange countries for to see, When a stranger thought came to his head To go to his Lady Nancy Go to his Lady Nancy He rode and he rode upon his white horse, Till he came to his town And there he heard the old church bell, And the people all mourning round People all mourning round "Is someone dead?" Lord Lovel said, A-gazing on the spire "It's Nancy, Lady Nancy's died For a discourteous squire For a discourteous squire He ordered "Open up the grave And pull the shroud down low Nancy died for me today I'll die for her tomorrow I'll die for her tomorrow And from her grave grew a red rose And from his heart a briar They grew and grew till they reached the church top And there could grow no higher And there they twined in a true lover's knot For lovers to admire.
