Elegy

Hold still

Don’t move I say

Wilt thou hear

My elegy



Head high

Preserve my pride

I shall defy the gallows



I and you and me

Well we just don’t know

What love can do



I

I pledge to you

That I won’t deceive

The heart that’s mine

As here I sit



I vow

Your history does not

Perish my love

The shame

Will be mine for a

Scarlet woman thou art

I and you and me

Well we just don’t know

What love can do

I

I pledge to you

That I won’t deceive

The heart that’s mine

Dead from the grave

We’re all slaves

To what we’ve got

Love

Is been through

The door

For days
