The Grey Cock - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:00]

I must be going no longer staying[00:00:05]

The burning thames i have to cross[00:00:13]

Oh i must be guided without a stumble[00:00:19]

Into the arms of my dear lass[00:00:27]

And when he came to his true love's window[00:00:37]

He knelt down gently all on a stone[00:00:43]

And it's through the pane he has whispered slowly[00:00:49]

My dear girl are you alone[00:00:55]

She rose her head from her down-soft pillow[00:01:04]

And snowy were her milk-white breasts[00:01:11]

Saying who's there who's there at my bedroom window[00:01:18]

Disturbing me from my long night's rest[00:01:25]

Oh i'm your lover don't discover[00:01:35]

I pray you rise love and let me in[00:01:41]

For i am fatigued out of my long night's journey[00:01:47]

Besides i'm wet into the skin[00:01:54]

Now this young girl rose and put on her clothing[00:02:03]

She quickly let her own true love in[00:02:09]

Oh they kissed shook hands and embraced together[00:02:15]

Till that long night was near an end[00:02:22]

Willie dear o dearest willie[00:02:31]

Where is that colour you'd some time ago[00:02:37]

O mary dear the clay has changed me[00:02:43]

I am but the ghost of your willie o[00:02:50]

Then o cock o cock o handsome cockerel[00:02:58]

I pray you not crow until it's day[00:03:05]

For your wings i'll make of the very first beaten gold[00:03:10]

And your comb i'll make of the silver ray[00:03:17]

But the cock it crew and it crew so fully[00:03:26]

It crew three hours before it was day[00:03:32]

And before it was day my love had to go away[00:03:37]

Not by the light of the moon nor the light of day[00:03:44]

Then it's willie dear o dearest willie[00:03:54]

Whenever shall i see you again[00:04:01]

When the fish they fly love and the sea runs dry love[00:04:07]

And the rocks they melt in the heat of the sun[00:04:15]
