George collins walked out one may morning[00:00:00]

When may was all in bloom[00:00:08]

There he espied a fair pretty maid[00:00:12]

A-washing her marble stone[00:00:19]

George Collins - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:23]

She whooped she hollered she highered her voice[00:00:26]

She held up her lily-white hand[00:00:32]

Come hither to me george collins she said[00:00:35]

For your life shall not last your long[00:00:40]

He put his foot on the broad water side[00:00:46]

And over the lea sprung he[00:00:51]

And he embraced her around the middle so small[00:00:54]

And kissed her red rosy cheeks[00:00:59]

George collins rode home to his father's own gate[00:01:05]

Rise mother and make my bed[00:01:10]

And i will trouble my dear sister[00:01:13]

For a napkin to tie around my head[00:01:17]

And if i should chance to die this night[00:01:22]

As i suppose i shall[00:01:26]

Bury me under that marble stone[00:01:29]

That's against fair eleanor's hall[00:01:34]

Fair eleanor sat in her room so fine[00:01:40]

Working her silken skein[00:01:45]

And she saw the fairest corpse a-coming[00:01:47]

That ever the sun shone on[00:01:53]

She said unto her irish maid[00:01:58]

Whose corpse is this so fine[00:02:04]

This is george collins' corpse a-coming[00:02:08]

That once was a true lover of thine[00:02:14]

Come put him down my six pretty lads[00:02:20]

And open his coffin so fine[00:02:25]

That i might kiss his lily-white lip[00:02:29]

For ten thousand times he has kissed mine[00:02:34]

You go upstairs and fetch me the sheet[00:02:41]

That's wove with the silver twine[00:02:45]

And hang that over george collins' head[00:02:50]

Tomorrow it shall hang over mine[00:02:55]

The news was carried to london town[00:03:02]

And wrote on london gate[00:03:08]

That six pretty maids died all of one night[00:03:11]

And all for george collins' sake[00:03:16]
