Down in yon valley there was a fine wedding[00:03:38]

Oh, but the bride she had proved to be unkind[00:03:38]

When looking back on their bygone lover[00:03:38]

Her former true lover came in at the time[00:03:38]

Supper being ended and all things over[00:03:38]

It was proposed to sing the bride a song[00:03:38]

The song it was sung by yon bygone lover[00:03:38]

And unto the bride this song it did belong[00:03:38]

Many a one has been seven years absent[00:03:38]

Many a one has returned again[00:03:38]

But I have been only three years absent[00:03:38]

And an inconstant lover to me ye have been[00:03:38]

Oh, how could you sit at another man's table[00:03:38]

How could you drink of another man's wine[00:03:38]

How could you lie in another man's arms[00:03:38]

When often and often you said you'd lie in mine[00:03:38]

The bride being seated at the end of the table[00:03:38]

Every word was spoken, she marked it full weel[00:03:38]

To bear up the company no more was she able[00:03:38]

So unto the bridegroom these words she did tell[00:03:38]

I'm going to ask of you, to ask of you a favour[00:03:38]

This being the first one you've granted to me[00:03:38]

You'll grant me the sign if you'll lie with my mammy[00:03:38]

And aye, aye and after and I'll lie with ye[00:03:38]

In asking and asking this favour was granted[00:03:38]

Sighing and sobbing she went tae her bed[00:03:38]

But early, oh early the very next morning[00:03:38]

This bonnie young lassie was found lying dead[00:03:38]

Surprising, surprising, to all ye young women[00:03:38]

To see one so early cut off in her bloom[00:03:38]

Tonight ye may be walking and wi' sweethearts talking[00:03:38]

And early in the morning be cold in the tomb[00:03:38]

First I'll put on a green coat of velvet[00:03:38]

This I will wear for one month or two[00:03:38]

And then I'll put on the green and the yellow[00:03:38]

And aye, aye and after the orange and the blue[00:03:38]

If anyone do ask me, do ask me the reason[00:03:38]

Why I do wear such a costly array[00:03:38]

I'll tell the reason, the very plain reason[00:03:38]

Because that my true love lies cold in the clay[00:03:38]
