about

Traditional Folk Ballad by John Jacob Niles
Arrangement Elizabeth Lockhart

lyrics

Oh she’ll take of the black dress
And put on the green
For she is forsaken and only nineteen
lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai lai
For she is forsaken and only nineteen

Oh he courted her and he kissed her
And he made her heart warm
And then when he left her
He laughed her to scorn
lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lain lai
And then when he left her
He laughed her to scorn

For we’ll build her a cabin
On yon’ mountain high
Where the wild birds can’t find her
Nor hear her heart cry
lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lain lai
Where the wild birds cant find her nor hear her heart cry

Take warning Take warning
young ladies pray do
For you are quite lucky that this is not you
lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lain lai
For you are quite lucky that this is not you…
