[00:00.97]I am stretched on your grave
[00:04.40]And I'll lie here forever
[00:08.28]If you hands were in mine
[00:12.28]I'd be sure they would not sever
[00:16.72]My apple tree my brightness
[00:20.34]It's time we were together
[00:24.03]For I smell by the Earth
[00:27.71]And I'm worn by the weather
[00:31.46]
[00:33.28]When my family think
[00:36.97]That I'm safely in my bed
[00:40.72]Oh from morn until night
[00:44.29]I am stretched out at your head
[00:48.16]Calling out unto the earth
[00:52.41]With tears hot and wild
[00:55.89]For the loss of a girl
[00:59.57]That I loved as a child
[01:05.51]Do you remember the night
[01:08.76]Oh the night when we were lost
[01:12.39]In the shade of the blackthorn
[01:16.26]And the touch of the frost
[01:20.01]Oh and thanks be to Jesus
[01:23.95]We did all that was right
[01:27.26]And your maidenhead still
[01:31.09]Is your pillar of light
[01:36.21]
[01:50.97]Oh the priests and the friars
[01:54.40]They approach me in dread
[01:58.03]Oh for I love you still
[02:01.65]Oh my life and you're dead
[02:05.22]I still will be your shelter
[02:09.40]Through rain and through storm
[02:12.72]And with you in your cold grave
[02:16.65]I cannot sleep warm
[02:21.71]So I am stretched on your grave
[02:25.15]And I'll lie here forever
[02:28.90]If you hands were in mine
[02:32.59]I'd be sure they would not sever
[02:36.71]My apple tree my brightness
[02:40.27]It's time we were together
[02:43.90]For I smell by the Earth
[02:47.21]And I'm worn by the weather
[02:53.97]
