The Grazier's Daughter - June Tabor[00:00:00]

Oh the grazier's daughter living near[00:00:01]

A fair young damsel as you shall hear[00:00:07]

It's up to London she did go[00:00:13]

To seek for service as you shall know[00:00:19]

Her master having but one son[00:00:26]

Oh she bein' fair his heart she won[00:00:32]

Young Betsy bein' so very fair[00:00:38]

She brought his heart into a snare[00:00:43]

One sunday evening he stole her thyme[00:00:49]

And unto Betsy told his mind[00:00:55]

Myown swearing bower's above[00:01:01]

'Tis you fair Betsy 'tis you I love[00:01:06]

His mother then bein' standing nigh[00:01:12]

Hearing these words that her son did say[00:01:18]

Next morning by the break of day[00:01:24]

Unto fair Betsy she took away[00:01:29]

Sayin' Rise up rise up my fair Betsy[00:01:36]

And dress yourself most gallantly[00:01:43]

For 'tis to the country you must go[00:01:49]

All along with me for one day or two[00:01:53]

And as they were crossing o'er the plain[00:02:00]

They spied some ships sailing on the main[00:02:05]

No wit no wit this poor woman had[00:02:11]

But to sell poor Betsy to be a slave[00:02:16]

Then a few days after the mother returned[00:02:24]

And it's welcome mother replies the son[00:02:30]

But tell me tell me true I pray[00:02:36]

Oh where is Betsy behind you say[00:02:41]

Oh son oh son I plainly see[00:02:48]

The love you bear for poor Betsy[00:02:54]

But your sobbin' and sighin' are all in vain[00:02:59]

Young Betsy sailing across the main[00:03:06]

In a few days after the son lies sick[00:03:12]

No sort o' music his heart would take[00:03:18]

But he often sighed and he often cried[00:03:24]

Oh Betsy Betsy I shall die[00:03:31]

And in a few days after the son lies dead[00:03:38]

Mother wrings her hands and she tears her hair[00:03:44]

If I could bring back my son again[00:03:49]

I'd send poor Betsy across the main[00:03:55]

Oh the grazier's daughter living near[00:04:02]

A fair young damsel as you shall hear[00:04:09]

It's up to London she did go[00:04:16]

To seek for service as you shall know[00:04:21]
