Luke Kelly (15th century English folk ballad)
F F G F F G F
The FWind doth Fblow toGday my Flove,
A Ffew small Fdrops the Grain.
FNever have I Ghad but Fone true Flove,
In Fcold clay Gshe is Flain.
I'll Fdo as Fmuch for Gmy true Flove,
As Fany young Fman Gmay.
I'll Fsit and Gmourn all Fon her Fgrave,
A Ftwelve month Gand a Fday.
The Ftwelve month Fand a Gday been Fgone,
A Fvoice spoke Ffrom the Gdeep.
"F;Who iGs it sitsF all oFn my grave.
And Fwill not Glet me Fsleep?"
Tis FI Tis FI thine Gown true Flove,
Who Fsits uFpon your Ggrave,
For I Fcrave one Gkiss from Fyour sweet Flips,
And Fthat is Gall I Fseek.
"F;You craveF one kiss froGm my clay Fcold lips,
But Fmy breath is Fearthy Gstrong.
FHad you one Gkiss from my clay Fcold Flips,
You're Ftime would Gnot be Flong"
My Ftime be Flong, my Gtime be Fshort,
ToFmorrow For toGday,
FMay God in Gheaven have Fall my Fsoul
But I'll Fkiss your Glips of Fclay.
See Fdown in Fyonder Ggarden Fgreen.
FLove where we Fused to Gwalk.
The Fsweetest Gflower that Fever Fgrew.
Is Fwithered Gto the Fstalk.
The Fstalk is Fwithered Gdry my Flove
FSo will our Fhearts deGcay.
So Fmake yourGself conFtent, my Flove,
'Till Fdeath calls Gyou aFway."
