Nobleman's Wedding
As I was invited to a nobleman's wedding
Being of the fair when the proved unkind
And she being ill for to think on her?
Her former true love she left behind
When the wedding supper it was over
The company around were to sing a song
The first that sang was her former true lover
And then for her he did sing one
How can you lie her head on another's pillow
And die that was your love that was so late
He left me here for to wear this lone green willow
In discontent love for your sake
The bride she said to the head of the table
Hearing those words she knew quite well
No longer, no longer she could not bear it
And down from the table the new bride fell
The one request I am going to ask you
Grant it to me I hope you will
For this very night? to stay with my mother
The rest of my life forge a lie with me
But his request was really granted
Sighing and sobbing she went to bed
And he rose in the day next morning
He rose and found his new bride dead
How long have I to wear this lonely green willow
Is it for one month or two
And then I'll take off this lone green willow
And change the old lock for the new
A green willow tree is a handsome flower
In the spring time of the year
Where many soldiers spend all the long hours
Dreaming a love that never was near
Being of the fair when the proved unkind
And she being ill for to think on her?
Her former true love she left behind
When the wedding supper it was over
The company around were to sing a song
The first that sang was her former true lover
And then for her he did sing one
How can you lie her head on another's pillow
And die that was your love that was so late
He left me here for to wear this lone green willow
In discontent love for your sake
The bride she said to the head of the table
Hearing those words she knew quite well
No longer, no longer she could not bear it
And down from the table the new bride fell
The one request I am going to ask you
Grant it to me I hope you will
For this very night? to stay with my mother
The rest of my life forge a lie with me
But his request was really granted
Sighing and sobbing she went to bed
And he rose in the day next morning
He rose and found his new bride dead
How long have I to wear this lonely green willow
Is it for one month or two
And then I'll take off this lone green willow
And change the old lock for the new
A green willow tree is a handsome flower
In the spring time of the year
Where many soldiers spend all the long hours
Dreaming a love that never was near
