Intro verse 1 Cold blows the wind to my true love And gently drops the rain I've never had but one true love And in green-wood he lies slain verse 2 I'll do as much for my true love As any young girl may I'll sit and mourn all on his grave For a- twelve month and a day verse 3 And when twelve months and a day was passed The ghost did rise and speak "Why sittest thou all on my grave And will not let me sleep? " verse 4 "Go fetch me water from the desert And blood from out of a stone Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast That a young man never has known. " Verse 5 "How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart Where we were wont to walk The fairest flower that e'er I saw Has withered to a stalk." Verse 6 "The stalk is withered and dead, sweetheart The flower will never return. And since I've lost my own true love What can I do but yearn." Verse 7 "When will we meet again, sweetheart. When will we meet again? " "When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees Are green and spring up again."
