Drowned Lovers - Kate Rusby
Willie sits in his stable door
And he's combing his coal black steed
He's doubting on fair Margaret's love
And his heart begins to bleed
Give corn unto my horse mother
And meat to my man John
And I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
Before the night comes on
Stay at home with me dear Willie
Oh stay at home with me
And the very best cock in all the roost
Your own supper will be
For all your cocks and all your roosts
I value not a pin
And I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
Before the night comes in
Well if you go to fair Margaret's bower
Without the leave of me
In the deepest part of the Clyde water
Then drowned you will be
Oh the good steed that I ride upon
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
And I'll put trust in his swift feet
To take me safe and sound
He's ridden o'er yon high high hill
And down yon dowey den
And the rushin' in of the Clyde water
Would fear five hundred men
Oh roaring Clyde you roar so loud
Your steams are wondrous stong
Make me a wreck as I come back
But spare me as I'm gone
When he's got to fair Margaret's bower
He's turled low on the pin
Rise up rise up me May Margaret
Rise up and let me in
Oh who is this at me bower door
Callin' May Margaret's name
Oh it's only your first love little William
This night come to her home
Open your gates this night oh open and let me in
For my boots are full of the Clyde
And I'm frozen to the skin
My barns are full of corn Willie
And my stable's full of hay
My bower's full of gentlemen
And they won't remove 'till day
Fare thee well to you May Margaret
Fare thee well and adieu
For I have earned my mother's own curse
By coming this night to you
He's ridden o'er yon high high hill
And down yon dowey den
And the rushing in of the Clyde water
Took Willie's hat from him
The very hour this young man sank
Into the part so deep
Up and awoke Miss May Margaret
Out from her dreary sleep
Come here come here me mother dear
And read to me my dream
I dreamt my love was at our gate
And no one let him in
Lie there lie there me May Margaret
Lie there and take your rest
For since your love was at our gate
It's but two quarters past
Nimbly nimbly rose
She up unto the water's brim
And the louder that this young girl cried
The louder grew the wind
The very first step that she went in
She's up into her feet
And it's Oh and alas this young girl cried
Your water's wondrous deep
Oh the very next step that she went in
She's up unto her knees
Cried she I would go farther in
If I my true lover could see
The very next step that she went in
She's up unto her chin
In the deepest part of the Clyde water
She's found sweet William in
Saying You have had a cruel mother Willie
And I have had another
And now we'll sleep in the Clyde water
Like sister and like brother
Saying You have had a cruel mother Willie
And I have had another
And now we'll sleep in the Clyde water
Like sister and like brother
