lyrics

Cold blows the wind to my true love
and gently falls the rain,
I only had but one true love
and in greenwood he lies slain.
I'll do as much for my true love as any young girl may,
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
for twelve months and a day.

When twelve months and one day was past
the ghost began to speak,
"Why sittest here all on my grave
and will not let me sleep?"
"There's one thing that I want, sweetheart,
there's one thing that I crave,
and that is a kiss from your cold white lips,
then I'll go from your grave.

My lips they are as cold as clay,
my breath is earthy strong,
and if you kiss my cold white lips
your days will not be long.
Go, fetch me water from the desert
and blood from out a stone,
go fetch me milk from a young maid's breast
that young man never has known.

'Twas down in Cupid's garden
where you and I did walk,
the finest flower that e'er I saw is withered to a stalk.
The stalk is withered and dry, sweetheart,
the flower will ne'er return
and since I lost my own true love,
what can I do but mourn?

When shall we meet again, sweetheart,
when shall we meet again?
Ere the oaken leaves falling from the trees
are green and spring again.

Triangle England, UK

To say we are “an all-female, three piece a cappella band” identifies us, but does not describe us. Our themes mostly revolve around beer, religion, politics and things that go bump in the night - in no particular order. And we don't just stand there in a row singing, either; we act the songs out as melodies switch from one line to another. ... more
