MY SWEET LUCY GREY
The pretty flowers were springing
In fields and meadows green
The little birds were singing
Where winter floods had been
Where I went to see my true love
Along the meadow way
Neath the willow rows and dew love
A courting Lucy Grey
In fields and meadows green
The little birds were singing
Where winter floods had been
Where I went to see my true love
Along the meadow way
Neath the willow rows and dew love
A courting Lucy Grey
A bonny hat of finest straw
And ribbons black and blue
Her lips the bright and glossy haw
Her cheeks the roses dipt in dew
O she was fair as ony thing
And beautiful as gay
Blythe as a bonny morn o' spring
Was my sweet Lucy Grey
And ribbons black and blue
Her lips the bright and glossy haw
Her cheeks the roses dipt in dew
O she was fair as ony thing
And beautiful as gay
Blythe as a bonny morn o' spring
Was my sweet Lucy Grey
O we loved and walked together
Both at the night time and the day
And my foot was in loves tether
When young Lucy went away
That morning when she parted
I scarce knew what to say
And I felt half broken hearted
For the loss of Lucy Grey
Both at the night time and the day
And my foot was in loves tether
When young Lucy went away
That morning when she parted
I scarce knew what to say
And I felt half broken hearted
For the loss of Lucy Grey
